The Alföldi People's Republic of Ypogegrammeni is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Grigoris Lambrakis with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic population of 21.358 billion Ypogegrammeniots enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiryns. The average income tax rate is 91.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Ypogegrammeniot economy, worth 840 trillion drachms a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,351 drachms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, the possibility of gain causes universal pain, the government is avowedly secular, and mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ypogegrammeni's national animal is the ram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is its national religion.

Ypogegrammeni is ranked 46,956^th in the world and 137^th in Forest for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 156.05 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
