The Republic of Yertania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Legislative Congress with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 36.693 billion Yertanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Law & Order, Education, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Social Policy and Healthcare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bratislava Forest. The average income tax rate is 19.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yertanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,720 trillion silver credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,642 silver credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, stores employing more than 100 employees are required to be at least twenty miles from any competitor, and a new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yertania's national animal is the mythic grappelzen, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Yertania is ranked 66,103^rd in the world and 11^th in Yertania City for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,741.25 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
