The Most Serene Republic of Yourmommania is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 283 million Yourmommanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barnett City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Yourmommanian economy, worth 32.7 trillion BORREVICKIAN CENTS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 115,440 BORREVICKIAN CENTS, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 811,234 per year while the poor average 5,590, a ratio of 145 to 1.

Max Barry is this year's Miss Yourmommania, appendix transplant figures have recently doubled, 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive, and a murderous reputation can revitalise a flagging celebrity career. Crime is a serious problem. Yourmommania's national animal is the CONNORHENRY, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Yourmommania is ranked 4,488^th in the world and 2^nd in Westos Islands for Fattest Citizens, with 26.05 Obesity Rate.
