The Unitary Republic of Yanitza is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by The Troika with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 34.204 billion Yanitzans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Doxani. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The Yanitzan economy, worth a remarkable 4,318 trillion drachmas 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 dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 126,255 drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Atheists refusing to attend church are heavily fined by the government, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and guns are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yanitza's national animal is the Mountain goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secular.

Yanitza is ranked 173,355^th in the world and 6,667^th in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 141.79 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
