The Zombie of Yodle 4 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, enslaved workforce, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.093 billion Yodle 4ians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Yodle 4ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,051 trillion Gold Coins 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 impressive 148,247 Gold Coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 601,078 per year while the poor average 24,339, a ratio of 24.7 to 1.

Convicted crypto-miners are sent to the salt mines, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, ill and injured visitors in Yodle 4 have to walk it off until they return home, and the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yodle 4's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Yodle 4 is ranked 99,024th in the world and 27th in Disney World for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 3,234.7 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
