The Xenopolis of YoriZ is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by demographically representative panelists with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 44.549 billion well-informed floating voters are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.

The frighteningly efficient worker-controlled economy, worth an astonishing 15,791 trillion e-gold™s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Information Technology and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 354,479 e-gold™s, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pranking is an art form, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, and cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. YoriZ's national animal is the bureau©rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

YoriZ is ranked 315,651st in the world and 165th in Anarchy for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -40.74 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
