The Gaptooth Redneck Hillbillies of Mister Yuckmouth is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 8.256 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 32%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Soda Sales, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration industries.

Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Mister Yuckmouth's national animal is the nut cracker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the walnut.

Mister Yuckmouth is ranked 4th in Zztopia and 23,757th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -10 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
