The Federal Republic of Yugarritia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Marcus Rivera with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 27.72 billion Yugarritians 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 Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of El Cabellal. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Yugarritian economy, worth a remarkable 5,386 trillion Alfas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 194,302 Alfas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, the nation's politicians are known more for the internet memes they spawn than any of their accomplishments, foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets, and student exchange programs are in trouble as everyone wants to leave but no-one wants to come. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yugarritia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Yugarritia is ranked 2,580^th in the world and 66^th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 231 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
