The Republic of Yod is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and vat-grown people. The cynical, devout population of 1.57 billion Yodleans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. The average income tax rate is 43.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Yodian economy, worth 89.2 trillion Gold Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 56,814 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left, scenic beaches are now protected by massive concrete walls, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, and reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yod's national animal is the Cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Yod is ranked 89,434^th in the world and 5^th in Yo Mama for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
