The Tyrannical State of Yestleck is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by High Lord Armanis with an iron fist, and renowned for its vat-grown people, ban on automobiles, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.36 billion Yestleckans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Malleonea. The average income tax rate is 92.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Yestleckan economy, worth a remarkable 2,796 trillion Aurums a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 298,779 Aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Malleonea make great practice for foreign snipers, manual labourers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job, the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins, and the nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yestleck's national animal is the manul, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Yestleck is ranked 6,121^st in the world and 16^th in Wintreath for Largest Governments, scoring 40.84 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
