The Republic of Yyx17 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.782 billion Yyx17ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yyx17ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,192 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,833 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, the nation's children are known for being even more apathetic and cynical than their parents, government-sponsored gallows are being erected by Violetist temples, and no one gossips with Leader during diplomatic summits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yyx17's national animal is the cow.

Yyx17 is ranked 12,631^st in the world and 15^th in YYX for Highest Poor Incomes, with 112,945.48 Standard Monetary Units.
