The State of Yaye is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Capital Heights with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 37.281 billion Yayeans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Yayean economy, worth a remarkable 1,882 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 50,494 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, Capital Heights has just been declared ruler of Yaye in an international press conference, many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, and a government program is underway to revitalize Yaye's beaches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yaye's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Yaye is ranked 178,320^th in the world and 1^st in Laos for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 112.78 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
