The Federal Republic of Yurp is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Andrew Glass with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.138 billion Yurpians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Yurp City. The average income tax rate is 71.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Yurpian economy, worth a remarkable 1,402 trillion Yuroes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 125,935 Yuroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, and there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yurp's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judyism.

Yurp is ranked 318,810^th in the world and 15,398^th in Lazarus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.22 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
