Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Yumyum63 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed population of 3.888 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yumyum63 City. The average income tax rate is 66%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Tourism.

Citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, Mr Happy's Funland has just been named Yumyum63's new capital, untold millions of beuros are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, and pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yumyum63's national animal is the aramdillo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the beuro.

Yumyum63 is ranked 3rd in New Barrayar and 32,583rd in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 149 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
