The Free Land of Yorciand is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.104 billion Yorciandians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The thriving Yorciandian economy, worth 519 trillion marks a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 64,053 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 226,727 per year while the poor average 13,065, a ratio of 17.4 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and a valid legal defense is 'dead men tell no tales'. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Yorciand's national animal is the horse, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Yorciand is ranked 52,909^th in the world and 17^th in Union of Free Nations for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,464.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
