The Continuum of Yogxzark is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Xavvk with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, national health service, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 28.237 billion Yogs are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of R'lyeh. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Yogxzarkian economy, worth an astonishing 10,558 trillion Oth'ylehs a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 373,906 Oth'ylehs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

There is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes, the police go to great efforts to seize contraband favored by politicians on the police oversight committee, royals are always ready with their diamond-encrusted toilet plungers in case a royal flush doesn't work, and reams of paperwork signed in triplicate have taken the magic out of magic. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Yogxzark's national animal is the Cthulhu Spawn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Acolytes of Yog-Sothoth.

Yogxzark is ranked 294,134th in the world and 1st in Pocket Dimension 998877663321 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
