The Commonwealth of Yellunstryer is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Max Alfred with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cheerful population of 15.092 billion Yellunstrians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Melchester. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yellunstryerian economy, worth a remarkable 2,881 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 190,958 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army consists of only generals and grunts, the media seems excessively interested in what Max Alfred is wearing this season, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime is totally unknown. Yellunstryer's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Atheism.

Yellunstryer is ranked 2,551^st in the world and 60^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 67.47 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
