The Republic of Yyx65 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.593 billion Yyx65ians 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, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 50.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Yyx65ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,070 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,389 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Sometimes a whole prison wing will house a single prisoner, Merry Birthday is a popular protest song despite the risk of fines and royalty dues, beggars lack pockets for spare change, and government-sponsored gallows are being erected by Violetist temples. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yyx65's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Yyx65 is ranked 14,043^rd in the world and 45^th in YYX for Lowest Crime Rates, with 95.25 law-abiding acts per hour.
