The Allied States of Yostraria is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Zenobio Parisi with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 12.053 billion Yostrarians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Verbania. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Yostrarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,311 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 108,803 Dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 581,388 per year while the poor average 10,681, a ratio of 54.4 to 1.

Visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Zenobio Parisi, Verbania has become the number one destination for urban exploration in Xedas, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, and the nation leads Xedas in per capita stalking. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Yostraria's national animal is the Kangaroo, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Yostraria is ranked 264,274^th in the world and 30^th in Xedas for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -8.37 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
