Nation Information
Yuriism is a growing, somewhat developed, and maturing nation at 54 days old with citizens primarily of Japanese ethnicity whose religion is Islam. It is a backwards nation when it comes to technology and many refer to it unkindly as a 'Third World Nation'. Its citizens pay extremely high taxes and many despise their government as a result. The citizens of Yuriism work diligently to produce Water and Uranium as tradable resources for their nation. It is a mostly neutral country when it comes to foreign affairs. It will usually only attack another nation if attacked first. Yuriism is currently researching nuclear technology for the use of nuclear power plants but believes nuclear weapons should be banned. The military of Yuriism has been positioned at all border crossings and is arresting all drug traffickers. Yuriism allows its citizens to protest their government but uses a strong police force to monitor things and arrest lawbreakers. It has an open border policy, but in order for immigrants to remain in the country they will have to become citizens first. Yuriism believes in the freedom of speech and feels that it is every citizen's right to speak freely about their government. The government gives whatever is necessary to help others out in times of crisis, even if it means hurting its own economy. Yuriism will not make deals with another country that has a history of inhuman treatment of its citizens.

History of Medix
Medix is the current leader of Yuriism. He previously led another nation called Kulonism. He lead his nation to the halls of Sparta and signed up to become a member of the alliance on September of 2008, just a few days after creating the nation. For over a year, Medix remained a member of Sparta for over a year, mostly doing grunt work but enjoying his stay there. On October of 2009, he had his nation switch memberships to the SOS Brigade. There, he attained the position of Deputy Minister of Recruitment and soon was switched to Deputy Minister of Defense. However, by that time, the karma war had caused irreversible damage to the nation and Medix felt that it was no use attempting to salvage his nation. As a result, he disbanded Kulonism and created a new one named Yuriism. Medix is the current ruler of Yuriism.

Culture
As Yuriism's name implies, Yuri is one of the most popular types of literature found in Yuriism. Sales of Yuri manga and anime have remained consistently high even through economic downturns. Other types of literature (particularly transcendentalist writings and dark romantic novels) have not generally been taken up by the citizens of Yuriism.

The citizens of Yuriism worship Sappho, their deity. They read much of her poems and recite them during mass every Friday afternoon. It is currently a criminal offense to suggest that one dislikes the works of Sappho.
