Education
The Yuanese education system is notorious for its competitive field. While certain critics have praised it for "creating smarter students", others have criticized it for its extreme difficulty.

In Secondary, they are taught basic concepts of literature, science, mathematics, medicine, chemistry and many others. In Tertiary, they are taught essential skills used in adult life, including ways to get a well-paying job.

Population
The population has been growing faster recently. Before, the land that is Yuan used to be a community of farmers, but it started becoming an urban economy with the help of exporting.

Most people are concentrated in the southern coast and a little bit up north. This is mainly due to the fact that rice grows in its south coast.

Suicide is a problem for the population, as 20.1 suicides happen every 100,000 people. The worrying problem has lead many people advocating for change. The government is attempting to combat this.
