The Queendom of Yeress is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Yenali Yeshi with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 1.069 billion Yeressians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yeshin. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Yeressi economy, worth 16.8 trillion yeresis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 15,750 yeresis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Life-saving resuscitation is denied based on decades-old teenage diaries that declare "I want to die before I get old", sex education has become an intricate maze of stick figures and complex metaphors, teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, and elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yeress's national animal is the yeressian koi fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Yeress is ranked 214,971^st in the world and 10,364^th in Osiris for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
