The Merchanate of Yamany is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by High Merchantier with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, digital currency, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.541 billion citizens are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and Administration receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merchanta. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient citizen economy, worth a remarkable 1,313 trillion Golden Lire a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 200,832 Golden Lire, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,829,460 per year while the poor average 2,478, a ratio of 738 to 1.

Concussed Lionball players cannot remember their lineup position, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, the army spends more time producing 'romantic videos' than actually training soldiers, and High Merchantier's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Yamany's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is low tax-ism.

Yamany is ranked 306,884th in the world and 12,667th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 2.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
