The Federation of Ymiri is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 6.046 billion Ymirians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 45.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Ymirian economy, worth 158 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 26,226 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no 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. Ymiri's national animal is the elephant.

Ymiri is ranked 104,700^th in the world and 3,397^th in Osiris for Most Armed, with 0.41 weapons per person.
