The Centrist Republic of Yondoria is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Lucas grant ll with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.632 billion Yondorians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hafton. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yondorian economy, worth 447 trillion Mendals a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,692 Mendals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, and teenage TV characters are played by thirty-year-olds by the end of the second season. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yondoria's national animal is the Yondorian parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Pedstian.

Yondoria is ranked 34,310^th in the world and 116^th in Refugia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
