The Federal Republic of Yolia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by National Assembly with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.37 billion Yolians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Apato. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Yolian economy, worth 186 trillion pinas a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,265 pinas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, bustling back-alley clinics treat everything from sports injuries to angina, pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Yolian roads, and criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yolia's national animal is the red panda, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mosuelo.

Yolia is ranked 70,027^th in the world and 100^th in The Kodiak Republic for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,703.22 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
