The Ship Protectorate of Yoichi is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Yoichi with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The cynical population of 5.423 billion Yoichians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yoichi. The average income tax rate is 27.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Yoichian economy, worth 221 trillion Yoichi kronor a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,936 Yoichi kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, Yoichi is the self-declared God of all Yoichi, citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, and government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Yoichi's national animal is the Yoichi dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Yoichi.

Yoichi is ranked 140,888^th in the world and 39^th in Caer Sidi for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,667.95 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
