Yornamia

The Free Land of Yornamia is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 268 million Yornamians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Yornamian economy, worth 5.40 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 20,163 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, and the state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations. Crime is totally unknown. Yornamia's national animal is the self-propelled suitcase, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yornamia is ranked 189,795th in the world and 354th in Starlight for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 122.3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
