The Kingdom of Yummy Rhubarb Pies is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King of Rhubarbs with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 2.084 billion Yummy Rhubarb Piesians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Yummy Rhubarb Piesian economy, worth 216 trillion Rhubarbs 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 impressive 103,685 Rhubarbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Yummy Rhubarb Piesians are fixin' ta comma any way they wanna, aristocratic family trees are beginning to resemble tumbleweeds, being King of Rhubarbs has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, and school history books often refer to King of Rhubarbs as "that imperialist pig dog". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yummy Rhubarb Pies's national animal is the Bee, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Yummy Rhubarb Pies is ranked 44,418th in the world and 163rd in Forest for Safest, scoring 104.56 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
