The Democratic Republic of Yavin 6 is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by General Skywalker with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 931 million Yavin 6ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mustafar. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.6%.

The powerhouse Yavin 6ian economy, worth 106 trillion Dollars 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 114,512 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, homeless people are periodically found dead upon altars to assorted deities, the nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yavin 6's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Yavin 6 is ranked 53,914^th in the world and 661^st in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 668.91 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
