The Republic of Yerva is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 339 million Yervans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.8%.

The very strong Yervan economy, worth 21.8 trillion dollaridoos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 64,377 dollaridoos, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, mandatory neutering has made purebred dogs a thing of the past, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, and the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yerva's national animal is the Rhinoceros Beetle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yerva is ranked 106,992^nd in the world and 86^th in UEPU Federal Republic for Most Cultured, scoring 66 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
