The Republic of Yyx19 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.663 billion Yyx19ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Yyx19ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,016 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 152,538 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

What's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, 'Cownado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie, political activists are routinely executed, and charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yyx19's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yyx19 is ranked 263,514^th in the world and 110^th in YYX for Nicest Citizens, with 0.75 average smiles per day.
