The People's Republic of Yurannia is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 23 million Yurannians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 45.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Yurannian economy, worth 857 billion Yuras a year, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,286 Yuras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, confused-looking pigeons slide gently off frictionless window ledges, colleges adhere to rigid ethnic quotas for admissions, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yurannia's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yurannia is ranked 272,531^st in the world and 3,392^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 37,286.48 Standard Monetary Units.
