The Holy Blue Republic of Ya-Matha is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 5.951 billion Ya-Mathans 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 large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. The average income tax rate is 52.7%.

The strong Ya-Mathan economy, worth 383 trillion Gold Coins a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,408 Gold Coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, computer users are buried daily in thousands of unsolicited emails, and signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ya-Matha's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Ya-Matha is ranked 83,631st in the world and 63rd in Disney World for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
