The Empire of Yamatry is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Sulen Iwos with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, infamous sell-swords, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.116 billion Yamatryians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Laib. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Yamatryian economy, worth a remarkable 1,554 trillion Reáls a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 254,218 Reáls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, the nation is famous for having one of the world's largest Leopard hunting institutions, and cheese has become the new icon of political dissent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yamatry's national animal is the Leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Esoteric Atlantisism.

Yamatry is ranked 7,255th in the world and 285th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,920.16 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
