The Democratic States of Younglandia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 272 million Younglandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Yung City. The average income tax rate is 47.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Younglandian economy, worth 9.74 trillion Yungs 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Information Technology. 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 35,825 Yungs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exports of chewing gum are inexplicably falling, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, and juvenile delinquents are fitter than ever. Crime is totally unknown. Younglandia's national animal is the Kitty Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Younglandia is ranked 243,268^th in the world and 985^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.29 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
