The Federative Republic of Southern Yugoslavia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Yuliya Surkova with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 32.235 billion Volkians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Volkgoroda. The average income tax rate is 98.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Volkian economy, worth a remarkable 4,974 trillion koronas a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 154,304 koronas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, the justice of Southern Yugoslavia is considered superior to that of other nations, businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, and newborn babies can only be discharged from maternity wards during daylight hours. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Southern Yugoslavia's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lunarism.

Southern Yugoslavia is ranked 293,470^th in the world and 5,260^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -34.16 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
