The Principality of Yasoka is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, public floggings, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 869 million Yasokans 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.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Civitate Lucet. The average income tax rate is 37.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yasokan economy, worth 104 trillion Nams a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,788 Nams, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, gun-wielding criminals always wear appropriate eye and ear protection, and the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yasoka's national animal is the Kalt, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Yasoka is ranked 34,660^th in the world and 1,903^rd in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,702.79 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
