The Democratic Republic of Yemet is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Frederik Gerev with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 2.916 billion Yemetians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tulipeo. The average income tax rate is 82.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yemetian economy, worth 399 trillion Yemet Wengs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 137,035 Yemet Wengs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, atheist missionaries spread doubt overseas, and the new airport at Mr. Giles' farm is panicking his sheep. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yemet's national animal is the Grey Nosed Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yemet is ranked 8,826^th in the world and 508^th in The North Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 87.69 on the Human Development Index.
