The Most Serene Queendom of Yerba is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Druk Gyalmo Tshering with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, humorless population of 10.204 billion Yrbijans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Laya. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Yrbijan economy, worth a remarkable 1,102 trillion Yerban Ngultrums a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, extremely specialized black market in Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 108,064 Yerban Ngultrums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Future leaders of Yerba regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, heirs who take too long in the bathroom are declared missing and presumed dead, armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough, and cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates. Crime is totally unknown. Yerba's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Buddhism - Drukpa Kagyu.

Yerba is ranked 11,818^th in the world and 187^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Cultured, scoring 106 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
