The Republic of Yiddland is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 18 million Yiden love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fair Yidishe economy, worth 716 billion Yidishe Shekels a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,778 Yidishe Shekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, and patch v22.1705 - all developers are now paid for work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yiddland's national animal is the Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yiddland is ranked 26,701^st in the world and 1^st in Thronglia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,811.74 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
