The Literature Club Member of Yuri is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 8.893 billion Yurians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.3%.

The strong Yurian economy, worth 665 trillion yen a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 74,797 yen, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

War memorials have been modified to include hammocks for napping, citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, and politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yuri's national animal is the undefined, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Yuri is ranked 89,791^st in the world and 310^th in Remembrance for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,055.52 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
