The Republic of Ytrivaania is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ziir La'kll with a fair hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.899 billion Ytrivaanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanctuary. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The all-consuming Ytrivaanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,229 trillion Credits a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,792 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign 'investors' have been taking a great interest in the new secret shuttle, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, and professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ytrivaania's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ytrivaania is ranked 281,292^nd in the world and 6,899^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Primitive, scoring -357.35 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
