The People's State of The Yeetusa is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Collin Aldridge with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.121 billion Yeetusans 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, although Industry, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Telmania. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yeetusan economy, worth a remarkable 4,482 trillion Yeetusan Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 296,466 Yeetusan Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolchildren seeking entertainment have been told to go fish, deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, the military conducts 'training exercises' in prisons, and anti-government demagogues have a devil of a time evading authorities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Yeetusa's national animal is the Yeetusa Crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

The Yeetusa is ranked 490th in the world and 10th in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 13,509.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
