The Free Land of Yosticia is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.82 billion Yosticians 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 Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Floating City. The average income tax rate is 91.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yostician economy, worth 201 trillion grobans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 110,691 grobans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, the government loves seeing the little people fight, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yosticia's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Yosticia is ranked 270,009^th in the world and 298^th in Refugia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 9,408.74 Standard Monetary Units.
