The Corporation of Yugagar is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by the CEO with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.253 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yuriyard. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling industries.

Abortions are carried out secretly in shady backstreet clinics, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, and the workforce is almost entirely made up of slave labour. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Yugagar's national animal is the Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is the cult of weekly paycheck, and its currency is the YUR.

Yugagar is ranked 49th in Circle of Badularity and 125,309th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with -5 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
