The Most Serene Queendom of Yerba is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Druk Gyalmo Tshering with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, humorless population of 10.273 billion Yrbijans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Laya. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Yrbijan economy, worth a remarkable 1,105 trillion Yerban Ngultrums a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, extremely specialized black market in Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an impressive 107,586 Yerban Ngultrums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has nearly as many history museums as Yrbijans, The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries, all work and no play makes Druk Gyalmo Tshering a dull boy, and Druk Gyalmo Tshering is quite hard to get a hold of. Crime is totally unknown. Yerba's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Buddhism - Drukpa Kagyu.

Yerba is ranked 3,561^st in the world and 135^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 7,382.84 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
