The Republic of Yyx79 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.605 billion Yyx79ians 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 Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Yyx79ian economy, worth 957 trillion deniers a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,995 deniers, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 410,444 per year while the poor average 40,957, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The nation has an international reputation for compassion, government policy is dictated by a major religion, Yyx79 Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere', and protests are illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yyx79's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Yyx79 is ranked 260,683^rd in the world and 90^th in YYX for Nicest Citizens, with 0.82 average smiles per day.
