The Colony of Yomer is a massive, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The compassionate population of 3.525 billion Yomerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Yomerian economy, worth 595 trillion doshes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 168,930 doshes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nations that kill a Yomerian can expect a strongly worded letter, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and the Party has more splits than a yo-yo dieter's trousers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yomer's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Yomer is ranked 8,563^rd in the world and 202^nd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 440.28 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
