The Republic of Yyx45 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.829 billion Yyx45ians 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yyx45ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,100 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 161,128 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, misbehaving cows deemed dangerous to the public are shot and hanged by the town hall as a warning to others, gambling is outlawed, and male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yyx45's national animal is the cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yyx45 is ranked 18,900th in the world and 3rd in YYX for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,220.24 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
