The Confederate Republics of Last Yugoslavia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by comrade Lupus with an even hand, and notable for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate population of 3.976 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Education and Social Welfare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of secret bunker -Object 805-. The average income tax rate is 95%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The nation is reliant on the principle of mutually assured destruction to maintain its security, priests are being drafted by the church load, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, and a nation-wide cull of Red foxs is in effect. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Last Yugoslavia's national animal is the Red fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Dinar.

Last Yugoslavia is ranked 480th in Europe and 98,964th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
