The Most Serene Republic of Yeseul is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Aliyah Iseul with an even hand, and renowned for its digital currency, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 3.207 billion Iseulians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Iseul City. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yeseulian economy, worth 365 trillion Pearls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,944 Pearls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out, social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content, thousands of former welfare recipients are in a revolutionary uproar as the rest of society is enjoying a hefty tax break, and travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yeseul's national animal is the Black Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yeseul is ranked 10,800^th in the world and 98^th in Europeia for Nicest Citizens, with 31.76 average smiles per day.
