The Empire of Yeses is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President with a fair hand, and notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 9.917 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yeses City. The average income tax rate is 41%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

A typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit, religious education is a new government priority, and notable individuals are granted land and titles. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yeses's national animal is the ant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the colony dollar.

Yeses is ranked 4,371st in the South Pacific and 88,399th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -61 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
