The Democratic Empire of Soviet Yoshilandia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Olfer Kristof with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.31 billion Yoshilandians 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 prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anadyr. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Yoshilandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,075 trillion Siberian Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 115,479 Siberian Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", anyone who sleeps in past 9am can be declared legally dead, Olfer Kristof has taken to wearing medal-adorned military uniform in all public appearances, and bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Soviet Yoshilandia's national animal is the Yoshi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Soviet Yoshilandia is ranked 123,097^th in the world and 2^nd in Siberia for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,418.12 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
