The Kekkeryist Kekkury Yuh Yeet of Yukkira is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Kirin with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.009 billion Yukkirans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Xia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 77.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Yukkiran economy, worth a remarkable 4,509 trillion Imperial Banking Notes a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 300,422 Imperial Banking Notes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 901,268 per year while the poor average 78,219, a ratio of 11.5 to 1.

The military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, overhead luggage compartments on planes sometimes conceal diminutive intelligence officers, and investigative reports into the government's latest violation of civilian rights are stored in the fiction aisle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yukkira's national animal is the White Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Imperial Faith.

Yukkira is ranked 278,184th in the world and 4,870th in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -12.65 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
