The Republic of Yarmatia is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 229 million Yarmatians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 37.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Yarmatian economy, worth 5.88 trillion töms a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,660 töms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center, citizens are remarkably well involved in the political process, and mollycoddled youths run the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Yarmatia's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Yarmatia is ranked 217,444^th in the world and 49^th in Wysteria for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
