The People's Republic of Yongu is a huge, orderly nation, ruled by Shim Il Dong with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 818 million comrades 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, 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 Pyangyongu. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Yonguan economy, worth 13.2 trillion wans 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing. 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 16,087 wans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs, and fortified nursing homes are wracked with daily skirmishes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yongu's national animal is the spider crab, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Yongu is ranked 88,749th in the world and 43rd in Eientei Gensokyo for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,938.02 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
