The State of YS is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.218 billion YSians 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, prioritizes Industry, with Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The very strong YSian economy, worth 712 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 39,121 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 265,977 per year while the poor average 2,102, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, all tariffs have been abolished, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. YS's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

YS is ranked 265,093^rd in the world and 218^th in Omega Prime for Safest, scoring 13.18 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
