The Commonwealth of Yellunstryer is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Max Alfred with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 20.133 billion Yellunstrians 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 prioritizes Education, although Industry, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Melchester. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yellunstryerian economy, worth a remarkable 3,956 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 196,501 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

"The Pride of the Yellunstryerian Skies" boasts an impressive 17 propellers and runs on turnip oil, the dance skills of Max Alfred are said to be almost as subversive as their politics, blood isn't quite as thick as it used to be, and charity workers were first up against the wall when the time came. Crime is totally unknown. Yellunstryer's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Atheism.

Yellunstryer is ranked 6,710^th in the world and 177^th in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 136 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
