The Republic of New Ylicia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Peter Roux with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.705 billion New Ylicians 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 Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bonaire. The average income tax rate is 64.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming New Ylician economy, worth 396 trillion sequins a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,249 sequins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, the diplomatic corps stinks, and politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Ylicia's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Ylicia is ranked 199,689^th in the world and 876^th in Europe for Fattest Citizens, with 7.9 Obesity Rate.
