The Federation of Yviria is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Aleric Burdan with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working population of 3.056 billion Yvirians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ascendens. The average income tax rate is 56.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Yvirian economy, worth 541 trillion Yvirian Novis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 177,084 Yvirian Novis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, political speeches that drill deep into bureaucratic fine detail could be said to be a little boring, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime is totally unknown. Yviria's national animal is the Yvirian Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Yviria is ranked 11,470^th in the world and 2^nd in Solstice for Most Cultured, scoring 108 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
