The Buddhyslamic Raj of The Yap is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Larvin Yap with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, unlimited-speed roads, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.385 billion Yaplings are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bangalore. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Yapese economy, worth a remarkable 8,998 trillion Yaps a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is a breathtaking 549,168 Yaps, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,977,260 per year while the poor average 52,275, a ratio of 57.0 to 1.

Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, caroling is considered a public disturbance, corporate executives continue to enjoy generous tax benefits while the public is taxed to the hilt, and garden stores are not allowed to sell water butts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Yap's national animal is the Yapling, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Church of Yaptology.

The Yap is ranked 51,009^th in the world and 2^nd in Love for Most Developed, scoring 76.51 on the Human Development Index.
