The Community of Yellowgrass Creek is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls. The democratic, devout population of 220 million Isolans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 38.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Yellowgrass Creekian economy, worth 6.36 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,899 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, and jail house rock has been replaced with jail house golden oldies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yellowgrass Creek's national animal is the Hermit Thrush, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yellowgrass Creek is ranked 95,889^th in the world and 175^th in The Wellspring for Most Beautiful Environments, with 575.25 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
