Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Empire of Yodas Yoyos is a massive, devout nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.652 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass -- concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and Healthcare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Starwarsistan Galaxy. The average income tax rate is 37%, but much higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, followed by Door-to-door Insurance Sales and Uranium Mining.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and Yodas Yoyos has designated Starwarsistan Galaxy as its capital city. Crime is well under control. Yodas Yoyos's national animal is the bird, and its currency is the pearl.

Yodas Yoyos is ranked 9th in Isle of Graves and 23,314th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -10 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
