The Ancient City of Yharnam is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Astrid Weisberg with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 13.977 billion Yharnamians 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 Industry, Spirituality, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yharnam. The average income tax rate is 47.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Yharnamian economy, worth a remarkable 1,274 trillion blood echoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 91,219 blood echoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Teenagers sit around on their butts all day, the secret ingredient is love (and MSG), bouncers at the door of the sweet shop warn five-year-olds not to cause trouble, and legitimate job descriptions now include "smiling and waving". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yharnam's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The Healing Church.

Yharnam is ranked 105,381^st in the world and 6^th in Yharnam for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,775.62 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
