The Republic of Ytp is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 170 million Ytpians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 58.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Ytpian economy, worth 5.39 trillion Tees a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,720 Tees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students cut up leftover Tees during Arts and Crafts, referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, bargain hunters descend on disaster zones for a quick spot of grocery shopping, and rare steaks seem even bluer now. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ytp's national animal is the Baboon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ytp is ranked 249,777^th in the world and 2,137^th in the Pacific for Largest Populations, with 170 million capita.
