The Republic of Yippee is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 19.915 billion Yippeeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 47.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Yippeean economy, worth 745 trillion Yips a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 37,417 Yips, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yippee's national animal is the Yap, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yippee is ranked 161,384^th in the world and 3,737^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 60.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
