The Federal Alliance of Yokyo is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.89 billion Yolk hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eda. The average income tax rate is 90.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yolk economy, worth a remarkable 1,389 trillion Yolkens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 176,131 Yolkens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, write-in candidate 'Leader Sucks' is perennially popular, the threat of economic apocalypse brings out the best in people, and the streets are plagued with knife-wielding madmen. Crime is totally unknown. Yokyo's national animal is the Robin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yokyo is ranked 2,966^th in the world and 134^th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 22,691.4 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
