The Post-Apocalyptic Empire of Yermaney is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Tandi with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, hatred of cheese, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 34.594 billion Yermans 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 Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arroyo. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yerman economy, worth a remarkable 3,634 trillion bottle caps a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,047 bottle caps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Group hugs break out during floor votes, every new building project has to undergo a five-year environmental impact study before it can go ahead, the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking, and future leaders of Yermaney regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yermaney's national animal is the brahmin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is post-theism.

Yermaney is ranked 79,750^th in the world and 22^nd in Deutschland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
