The Famous Wing Chun Grandmaster of Yip Man is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Yip Kai Man with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 24.499 billion Foshanites are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Industry, with Social Policy, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Foshan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Foshanite economy, worth a remarkable 4,597 trillion Wing Chun Yuan a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 187,678 Wing Chun Yuan, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,064,038 per year while the poor average 16,184, a ratio of 65.7 to 1.

It's best to decline if Emperor Yip Kai Man offers to buy a round of drinks, people's charity begins and ends at home, new funding allows inner city teachers to replace school laptops almost as fast as they get stolen, and childish pranks are no laughing matter. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Yip Man's national animal is the Red Panda, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Buddhism.

Yip Man is ranked 5,083rd in the world and 1st in Foshan Mars Colony for Most Cultured, scoring 166 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
