The Kingdom of Yardies is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Andy Ganteks with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.639 billion Yardies are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberty City. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yard economy, worth 510 trillion Mobs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 193,531 Mobs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The housing market has collapsed like an overbaked Brancalandian souffle, the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, and ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Yard beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yardies's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Monke.

Yardies is ranked 221,206^th in the world and 3,140^th in the West Pacific for Safest, scoring 26.1 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
