The Allied States of Yoakam is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Dwight I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.471 billion Yoakamians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dwight. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.5%.
The thriving Yoakamian economy, worth 106 trillion Chesapeakean Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Average income is 72,413 Chesapeakean Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 601,048 per year while the poor average 1,753, a ratio of 342 to 1.
King Dwight I has just been declared ruler of Yoakam in an international press conference, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, the newest shade developed by Yoakam's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', and wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yoakam's national animal is the Mullet, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Yoakam is ranked 195,636th in the world and 1,053rd in Europeia for Safest, scoring 44.64 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
