The Democratic Republic of Yemet is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Frederik Gerev with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 6.208 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 medium-sized, 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 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yemetian economy, worth 822 trillion Yemet Wengs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,491 Yemet Wengs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rumor has it that President Frederik Gerev has won three lotteries in a row, the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year, Yemet's first free elections in recent memory have been successfully concluded, and space has been brought down to earth with constellations of cancer cases across Yemet. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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 9,786^th in the world and 578^th in The North Pacific for Best Weather, with 220 Meters Of Sunlight.
