The State of Yanky Rule is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 31.009 billion Yanky Ruleans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Defense, Industry, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.6%.

The very strong Yanky Rulean economy, worth a remarkable 1,711 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 55,205 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 157,830 per year while the poor average 15,380, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

People regularly disappear off the streets and all evidence of them is destroyed, rumor has it that the government was paid off by the mob to allow casinos to reopen, Yanky Rule has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Yanky Rule in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yanky Rule's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Yanky Rule is ranked 137,846^th in the world and 1^st in Djibouti for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
