The Republic of Yerva is a tiny, safe nation, remarkable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 14 million Yervans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.2%.

The strong Yervan economy, worth 722 billion dollaridoos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,620 dollaridoos, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued, class action lawsuits have gone up in smoke thanks to government interference, and the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust. 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.

Yerva is ranked 280,023^rd in the world and 119^th in UEPU Federal Republic for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 620.71 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
