The Federal Republic of Yeshknite is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Council Of Ministers with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.709 billion Yeshkians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Folvograd. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Yeshknitean economy, worth 301 trillion Yeshk Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,407 Yeshk Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, The Council Of Ministers is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, every workday begins with group therapy, and enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yeshknite's national animal is the Boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cult of the Federal Republic.

Yeshknite is ranked 9,798^th in the world and 511^th in Lazarus for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 55.65 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
