The Republic of Yearning is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 2.05 billion Yearningians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Yearningian economy, worth 229 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,815 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Environmental officials dismiss uncontrolled wildfires burning down major cities as nature taking its course, gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up, the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Yearning after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, and many are asking why the latest naval vessel is named after Saint Bartholomeus the Many Handed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yearning's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Yearning is ranked 120,285th in the world and 2,579th in Two for Most Stationary, with 298.683315787 days.
