The Republic of Yyx104 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, complete lack of prisons, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.594 billion Yyx104ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 58.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Yyx104ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,096 trillion baht a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,352 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Leader's most personal functions, nothing gets the party jumping like Leader specifying how high, holidays are regarded as the most miserable time of the year, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yyx104's national animal is the swan, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Yyx104 is ranked 31,068^th in the world and 90^th in YYX for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,557.04 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
