The Principality of Yoradia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.067 billion Yoradians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 96.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Yoradian economy, worth a remarkable 5,068 trillion marks 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 amazing 457,955 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Billions of marks are being blown on orbital weapons development, colonial subjects have Yoradian culture shoved down their throats, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yoradia's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Yoradia is ranked 1,208th in the world and 12th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Lowest Crime Rates, with 163.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
