The Armed Republic of Yveltank is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its parental licensing program, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 12.764 billion Yveltankians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 44.5%.

The strong Yveltankian economy, worth 711 trillion rubledollars a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 55,751 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", a major religion has been named as Yveltank's national religion, and burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yveltank's national animal is the Yveltal.

Yveltank is ranked 129,331^st in the world and 7^th in TEP for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 879.17 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
