The Democratic Republic of Yemet is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Nikita Neschev with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 12.633 billion Yemetians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
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 82.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Yemetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,768 trillion Yemet Wengs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 139,990 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 13,882nd in the world and 7th in Saint Helene for Most Cultured, scoring 104 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
