The Colony of Yomer is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and national health service. The compassionate population of 3.525 billion Yomerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Yomerian economy, worth 595 trillion doshes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 168,930 doshes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nations that kill a Yomerian can expect a strongly worded letter, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, and the Party has more splits than a yo-yo dieter's trousers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yomer's national animal is the falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Yomer is ranked 8,561^st in the world and 202^nd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 440.28 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
