The Republic of Yorkari is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by George Lint with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.129 billion Yorks have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valenca. The average income tax rate is 70.8%.

The all-consuming York economy, worth 417 trillion Trefts a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 101,189 Trefts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, school lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, and subscribing to the Benevolence Society for Impoverished Leaders is an effective way to dodge the draft. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yorkari's national animal is the Martial Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Yorkari is ranked 258,960^th in the world and 545^th in Europeia for Largest Black Market, with 146 billion Standard Monetary Units.
