The Zombie of Yodle 1 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Santa with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory gun ownership, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.795 billion Yodle1ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 81.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Yodle 1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,309 trillion Gold Coins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 168,045 Gold Coins, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Airplane passengers have been known to stuff pillows in their jackets to get extra arm room, 'Yodlenado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie, the election for Santa's office's janitor is heating up, and sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yodle 1's national animal is the Yodle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Yodle 1 is ranked 10,569th in the world and 1st in Disney World for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
