The United Socialist States of Yridan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Redael Neru with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cheerful population of 1.896 billion Yridanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Autarky. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Yridanian economy, worth 286 trillion Social Credit Points a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 151,305 Social Credit Points, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, and nuclear physics is the most popular course at university. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yridan's national animal is the Frigate Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Yridan is ranked 3,878th in the world and 1st in Free Union of Oppressed States for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 96.75 Effective Tax Rate.
