Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Confederate States of Yannia is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Yann Hendric III with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 19.039 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yannsborg. The average income tax rate is 100%. 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 state pays for care of easily preventable illnesses, children are raised bilingual from an early age, abortions are routinely performed in Yannia's hospitals, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime is totally unknown. Yannia's national animal is the Green Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Stüvër.

Yannia is ranked 51st in The Heartland and 115,412th in the world for Most Conservative, scoring 28 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
