The Democratic Republic of YayoKB is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Blakey with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 14.564 billion YayoKBians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Smiley Face. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient YayoKBian economy, worth a remarkable 1,677 trillion Smiles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 115,168 Smiles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Imitation is the sincerest form of felony, older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, and children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. YayoKB's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

YayoKB is ranked 275,137^th in the world and 85^th in Yggdrasil for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 7,485.95 Standard Monetary Units.
