The Republic of Yuserane is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 359 million Yuseraneans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed, including voting. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Youre. The average income tax rate is 30.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Yuseranean economy, worth 17.5 trillion Yoruses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,760 Yoruses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The Department of Health is snowed under by requests for crisper ciabatta and tenderer tagliatelle, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, stockbrokers dream of getting rich by writing textbooks, and the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yuserane's national animal is the bird-of-paradise, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Yuserane is ranked 131,408^th in the world and 1,915^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 835.87 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
