Yharon

The Rogue Nation of Yharon is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 611 million Yharon are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 49.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Yharon economy, worth 22.0 trillion Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,068 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government opponents tend to have their patents rejected immediately, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, surveillance cameras are banned, and Resplendent Phoenix Yharons are considered a delicacy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yharon's national animal is the Resplendent Phoenix Yharon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Yharon is ranked 238,350th in the world and 12th in Praeterea for Highest Food Quality, scoring 8.55 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
