The Democratic Republic of Yemet is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Frederik Gerev with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 8.87 billion Yemetians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tulipeo. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yemetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,227 trillion Yemet Wengs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 138,333 Yemet Wengs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany President Frederik Gerev to meetings with foreign heads of state, and the annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yemet's national animal is the Grey Nosed Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yemet is ranked 10,756^th in the world and 579^th in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 88.83 quips per hour.
