The Post-Apocalyptic Empire of Yermaney is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by President Tandi with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, strictly enforced bedtime, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 38.719 billion Yermans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arroyo. The average income tax rate is 53.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yerman economy, worth a remarkable 4,040 trillion bottle caps a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,350 bottle caps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, "President Tandi got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, and spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yermaney's national animal is the brahmin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is post-theism.

Yermaney is ranked 2,788^th in the world and 1^st in Deutschland for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 10,714.96 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
