The Dream State of Ylses is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 17.324 billion Ylsesians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The strong Ylsesian economy, worth 970 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 55,993 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 158,058 per year while the poor average 15,878, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, it is a crime to offend someone's religious beliefs, the nation is reliant on the principle of mutually assured destruction to maintain its security, and violent criminals are doomed to be hunted by a psychotic billionaire. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ylses's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ylses is ranked 181,483rd in the world and 2nd in Baltija for Most Stationary, with 75.46201420428 days.
