The Kingdom of Yamela is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by King Alexander II with an even hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate population of 3.442 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fralkan. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, untold millions of Mais are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, and nudity is frowned upon. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yamela's national animal is the Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Cratianism, and its currency is the Mai.

Yamela is ranked 33rd in Grand Central and 102,863rd in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 11 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
