The Oriental Realm of Yochan is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by HRH Rald - Prince of Hulsak with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.078 billion Yochanians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mt Bulsap. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Yochanian economy, worth 940 trillion Fabis a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Retail. Average income is an impressive 116,431 Fabis, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Only persecuted professionals need apply for asylum, exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, people transfer their assets to bank accounts in Manamana before getting divorced, and a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yochan's national animal is the Shuihu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Yochan.

Yochan is ranked 319,698^th in the world and 2^nd in Bulsap for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 20.72 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
