The High Easter Kingdom of Yij is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by He Who Is Named Anyway with an even hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 9.933 billion Yi enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ŭtasiĭ. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yi economy, worth a remarkable 2,692 trillion ciús 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. 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 amazing 271,020 ciús, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Yij's national animal is the bunny, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ciurŭtsĭhyu.

Yij is ranked 4,825th in the world and 9th in Wintreath for Highest Average Incomes, with 271,020.06 Standard Monetary Units.
