The State of YQ is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, complete lack of public education, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.578 billion YQians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.6%.
The very strong YQian economy, worth 708 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 40,283 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 260,762 per year while the poor average 2,495, a ratio of 104 to 1.
Conspiracy theorists allege that the government is spying on them through their carbon monoxide detectors, you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health, write-in candidate 'The Governor Sucks' is perennially popular, and organised sports are frowned upon as frivolous. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. YQ's national animal is the deer.
YQ is ranked 140,208th in the world and 92nd in Omega Prime for Most Stationary, with 206.84120789932 days.
