The Republic of Yxa is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 326 million Yxans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Yxan economy, worth 4.69 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is 14,388 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yxa's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Yxa is ranked 198,303^rd in the world and 1,165^th in Pacifism for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 956.27 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
