The Directive State of Ydleci is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Archon Xius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.898 billion idlesians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Furt Dei. The average income tax rate is 73.7%.

The frighteningly efficient idlesian economy, worth 809 trillion velars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 279,436 velars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Funeral mourners ridesharing with the deceased are encouraged to sit on the coffin to save room, a ban on robots in disguise has transformed the entertainment industry, veterans in wheelchairs are left waist-deep in rice paddies to gather grain, and metal detectors have been banned after a bottle cap caused a riot at the beach. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ydleci's national animal is the white tailed rabbit, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Ydleci is ranked 4,582^nd in the world and 7^th in Communitas for Most Developed, scoring 95.13 on the Human Development Index.
