The Holy Empire of Mesyeti is a massive, genial nation, ruled by John Paul Smith with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, strictly enforced bedtime, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.345 billion Yetis are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Downtown Pindinghall. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Mesyetian economy, worth 144 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 61,587 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, auditors are gutting every governmental department, and money is being desperately pumped into the ruined economy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mesyeti's national animal is the Rust Programmer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hernan Lorccan.

Mesyeti is ranked 23,771^st in the world and 232^nd in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
