The Republic of Yektov is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its digital currency and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 749 million Yektosks have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dalsk. The average income tax rate is 6.7%.

The Yektosk economy, worth 46.4 trillion Zolotoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 61,950 Zolotoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody brings rolls of coins to the laundromat anymore, teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, young criminals are told they'll go to bed without supper if they do it again, and Yektov has designated Dalsk as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Yektov's national animal is the Black Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yektov is ranked 211,381^st in the world and 124^th in The Western Isles for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -2.96 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
