The Republic of Yioa is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 6.222 billion Yioans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chastity. The average income tax rate is 63.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Yioan economy, worth 224 trillion Dollars 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, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. 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 36,080 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cars are banned, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, the true length of the coastline of Yioa may never be measured, and most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yioa's national animal is the Forgotten Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Yioa is ranked 123,096^th in the world and 1,683^rd in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,947.34 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
