The Empire of YioMing is a small, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 45 million YioMingians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 26.6%.

The strong YioMingian economy, worth 3.15 trillion YMBS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,056 YMBS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, when their backs are against the walls YioMingians look out for gay men, and litter collection has replaced fast food as the most popular after-school job. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. YioMing's national animal is the XiauFan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

YioMing is ranked 94,784^th in the world and 1,053^rd in The East Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 63.05 on the Human Development Index.
