The Multi-colored Dinosaurs of Isla de Yoshi is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Yellow Yoshi with a fair hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 7.605 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Donut Plains . Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Book Publishing and Gambling.

Coco the Clown has been elected to the nation's parliament, almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, the government is pouring funds into the nation's welfare system, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Isla de Yoshi's national animal is the piranha plant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the melon.

Isla de Yoshi is ranked 60th in New Europe and 90,810th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 78 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
