The Land of Republic of Yaroslavl is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.442 billion Yaroslavlians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yaroslavl. The average income tax rate is 62.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Yaroslavlian economy, worth 197 trillion Ducats 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 136,867 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, and trolls insist that strings of racial slurs mean "good morning" in obscure languages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Yaroslavl's national animal is the Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Republic of Yaroslavl is ranked 38,988^th in the world and 156^th in Novaya Zemlya for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,303.32 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
