The Democratic Republic of Yemet is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Nikita Neschev with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 12.868 billion Yemetians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tulipeo. The average income tax rate is 84.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yemetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,782 trillion Yemet Wengs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 138,555 Yemet Wengs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, the government has declared that sharing is uncaring, commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, and the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yemet's national animal is the Grey Nosed Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yemet is ranked 9,250^th in the world and 5^th in Saint Helene for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,668.65 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
