The Kingdom of Yardies is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Andy Ganteks with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.546 billion Yardies are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberty City. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yard economy, worth 496 trillion Mobs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 195,126 Mobs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and lending money has become a major liability. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yardies's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Monke.

Yardies is ranked 285,126^th in the world and 3,695^th in the West Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -440.21 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
