The Republic of Yemen is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 24.015 billion Yemenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Public Transport, and International Aid. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.0%.

The strong Yemenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,028 trillion riyals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 42,813 riyals, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 291,079 per year while the poor average 2,300, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem. Yemen's national animal is the sandworm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yemen is ranked 202,264^th in the world and 31^st in Middle East for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring zero on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
