The Tyrannical State of Yestleck is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by High Lord Armanis with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.874 billion Yestleckans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Malleonea. The average income tax rate is 91.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Yestleckan economy, worth a remarkable 2,116 trillion Aurums a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 268,795 Aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

One complaint of Yestleck's new periodic table is it's easy to confuse fearlessleaderium with gloriousleaderium, colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Yestleckan Liberator", officer recruitment and police brutality have reached an all-time high, and bilingual Yestleckans are viewed with suspicion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yestleck's national animal is the manul, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Yestleck is ranked 282,294th in the world and 304th in Wintreath for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -14.14 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
