The Kingdom of Yelamn is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Royn Iraodosik with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, zero percent divorce rate, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 9.499 billion Soerans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tutin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Soeran economy, worth a remarkable 1,116 trillion Yelamn Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 117,555 Yelamn Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 855,997 per year while the poor average 5,044, a ratio of 169 to 1.

Any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property, wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles, there's more vermin than ever on the metro, and paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Yelamn's national animal is the Luea Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ultruism.

Yelamn is ranked 158,707th in the world and 103rd in Barbaria for Largest Governments, scoring 12.61 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
