The Republic of Yoannes is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Natasha Alovska with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.604 billion Yoannesians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 86.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yoannesian economy, worth 797 trillion Youanneses a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,650 Youanneses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies, Yoannesian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, and high school bands practice by moonlight. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yoannes's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Yoannes is ranked 166,955^th in the world and 990^th in Europe for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,573.28 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
