The Blue Zombie of Yodle 78 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.136 billion Yodle 78ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. The average income tax rate is 26.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Yodle 78ian economy, worth 248 trillion Gold Coins 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, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. 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 60,102 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, and policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence'. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yodle 78's national animal is the Cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Orthodox Yodlism.

Yodle 78 is ranked 112,814^th in the world and 3^rd in Sweden for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 10,555.38 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
