The Left-Wing Populist State of Yesmanland is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Chadius with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.815 billion Yesmen are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Yesmanburg. The average income tax rate is 76.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Yesmanlandian economy, worth 345 trillion Aureuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 122,705 Aureuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The act of reporting blasphemy is known as 'Orthodoxxing', state officials tend to disappear after they forget to salute President Chadius's portrait, the full title of Hon President Chadius Vcte Mgve MF LWPSYLM GCYE runs to several pages, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yesmanland's national animal is the Broad-Winged Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Bobism.

Yesmanland is ranked 141,918^th in the world and 2^nd in The Holy Sha Alliance for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 397.89 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
