The Republic of MSFTYama is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.633 billion MSFTYamen hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 49.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The MSFTYaman economy, worth 478 trillion shillings 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, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. 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 45,036 shillings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A sledgehammer and a spray can are seen as the default tools of political debate, a death threat has replaced 'hello' as an official greeting in the nation, all tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs, and flags are commonly used as bonfire kindling. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. MSFTYama's national animal is the pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

MSFTYama is ranked 112,714^th in the world and 5,704^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 88.54 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
