The Republic of Yes-mann is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.093 billion Yes-mannians 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 Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 18.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Yes-mannian economy, worth 108 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,979 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Yes-mann has designated Yes-mann City as its capital city, polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, and policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence'. Crime is almost non-existent. Yes-mann's national animal is the robots.

Yes-mann is ranked 187,875^th in the world and 2^nd in Celtic Lands of Europe and Colonies for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 31.49 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
