The Republic of New Ylicia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Peter Roux with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.299 billion New Ylicians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bonaire. The average income tax rate is 57.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse New Ylician economy, worth 277 trillion sequins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,224 sequins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Insolent whistleblowers receive their just desserts on deserted isles, married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", and baiting is a national sport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. New Ylicia's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Ylicia is ranked 177,106^th in the world and 762^nd in Europe for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 1.58 on the Hayek Index.
