The Community of Yiale is a large, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 173 million Yialeites enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 38.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Yialean economy, worth 10.2 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,237 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A five-year-old and a convicted terrorist can sit alongside one another in jury service, the comic book series 'Leader and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, and minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yiale's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Yiale is ranked 127,581^st in the world and 448^th in The Frontier Sea for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 38.02 Effective Tax Rate.
