The Federation of Yikata is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Dalan Gharjakylor with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 2.564 billion Yikatans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jikolih. The average income tax rate is 51.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Yikatan economy, worth 152 trillion Vehera pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 59,554 Vehera pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, daily newspapers are permitted to run only pro-government stories, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", and hospitals fear government fines more than terrorist ransoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yikata's national animal is the Yikatan Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Yikata Anglican Communion.

Yikata is ranked 57,520^th in the world and 3,358^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
