The State of Yekaterinburg is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 23.666 billion Yekaterinburgians 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 enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Columbia Heights. The average income tax rate is 61.7%.

The Yekaterinburgian economy, worth 929 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 39,265 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Yekaterinburg has designated Columbia Heights as its capital city and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Yekaterinburg in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yekaterinburg's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yekaterinburg is ranked 184,510^th in the world and 7^th in Virginia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
