The Republic of Yodle 71 is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 4.25 billion Yodle 71ians 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 prioritizes Law & Order, with Education, Defense, and Administration also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 37.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Yodle 71ian economy, worth 237 trillion Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,912 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomacy is a foreign concept to Yodle 71ians, people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, and machine-peeled candied grapes come in individual packaging for the busy commuter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yodle 71's national animal is the Zombie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Yodle 71 is ranked 185,165^th in the world and 6^th in Solidarity With The Raided for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 34,945.03 Standard Monetary Units.
