The Sultanate of Yelmind is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate population of 618 million Yelmindians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Yelmindian economy, worth 39.1 trillion Territorial Talers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,255 Territorial Talers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, domestic cruise ships fly the Yelmindian flag out of fear of being blown up, and dealers go from pushing drugs to pushing up daisies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yelmind's national animal is the Yellow Labrador.

Yelmind is ranked 314,694^th in the world and 6^th in Ixnay Farm System for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -13.49 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
