The Average people of Yellow Sun is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Kaileph with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, digital currency, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 4.85 billion Yellow Sun's citizens hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ascension City. The average income tax rate is 13.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Yellow Sun's citizen economy, worth 681 trillion Energy Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,556 Energy Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Super Barry Brothers is the most popular video game in the nation, public hospital staff roll their eyes at anything less than a heart attack, robotic spouses prove to be just as imperfect as flesh and blood ones, and every week is blindness awareness week. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Yellow Sun's national animal is the Shapeshifting Psychopathic Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yellow Sun is ranked 31,591^st in the world and 32^nd in Concord for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,495.45 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
