The Democratic Empire of Soviet Yoshilandia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Olfer Kristof with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.408 billion Yoshilandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anadyr. The average income tax rate is 58.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Yoshilandian economy, worth 603 trillion Siberian Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 111,503 Siberian Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

To 'cut off family ties' is no longer just a phrase, money grows on trees, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, and immigrant herding has become a national pastime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviet Yoshilandia's national animal is the Yoshi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Soviet Yoshilandia is ranked 143,953^rd in the world and 10^th in Siberia for Nudest, with 136.25 cheeks per square mile.
