The Federal Republic of Yayna is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Fiancee' John with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, infamous sell-swords, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 43.551 billion Yaynans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yaynas. The average income tax rate is 64.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yaynan economy, worth a remarkable 5,845 trillion Polar Crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 134,218 Polar Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Economic planning is exalted as a human art form, praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, the nation takes the world's poor and tired and the huddled Masses yearning to breathe free, and the only things Yaynans vote on are cutest Mercedes competitions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yayna's national animal is the Mercedes, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is German car appreciation.

Yayna is ranked 113,146^th in the world and 11^th in Arctic for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 88.09 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
