The Queendom of The Yard is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Queen Kelis with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.87 billion Kelis Fans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tasty. The average income tax rate is 42.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The a Fan economy, worth 129 trillion Fandoms a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,257 Fandoms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Undergrads find their professors' mushroom experiments less psychedelic than expected, lumberjacks only use certified eco-friendly chainsaws, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, and businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Yard's national animal is the Vixen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Yard is ranked 179,884^th in the world and 29^th in The Universal Federation for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 367.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
