The Holy Blue Republic of Yidle is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, prohibition of alcohol, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.855 billion Yidleans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. The average income tax rate is 26.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Yidlean economy, worth 518 trillion Gold Coins a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 75,645 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Tetris has been banned for its graphic violent content, they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work", and rural Yidleans stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yidle's national animal is the Zombie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Yidle is ranked 167,799^th in the world and 9^th in Yo Mama for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 26.79 Effective Tax Rate.
