The Queen's State of Yaue is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and smutty television. The hard-nosed population of 29.039 billion Yaueans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education, Social Policy, and Industry also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Yauean economy, worth a remarkable 1,132 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 quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 38,982 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, and foreigners are treated with great suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yaue's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Yaue is ranked 101,096^th in the world and 3^rd in New Caledonia for Most Primitive, scoring -17.32 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
