The Free Land of Yeshu a is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 3.616 billion Yeshu ans 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 juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 24.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Yeshu an economy, worth 211 trillion Compassions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 58,400 Compassions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The official Yeshu An Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, the fattest folk in Yeshu a look to be the happiest ones, and what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans. Crime is almost non-existent. Yeshu a's national animal is the Human, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Yeshu a is ranked 169,671^st in the world and 2^nd in The Temple at the End of the Universe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
