The United States of Yuriss is a huge, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 396 million Yurissians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scales. The average income tax rate is 15.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Yurissian economy, worth 19.7 trillion YR dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 49,717 YR dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, the government merely sends empty platitudes whenever natural disasters strike foreign nations, the country's population is reported with a margin of error of several billions, and there's a bustling black market for vegetables. Crime is almost non-existent. Yuriss's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Yuriss is ranked 90,039^th in the world and 77^th in The League for Nudest, with 175.5 cheeks per square mile.
