The State of Yaman Shaabi is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 26.778 billion Yaman Shaabians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Douglas City. The average income tax rate is 67.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Yaman Shaabian economy, worth 143 trillion betales 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 Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. 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 5,356 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A dictator has seized power and outlawed elections, Yaman Shaabi has designated Douglas City as its capital city, The Governor has just been declared ruler of Yaman Shaabi in an international press conference, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yaman Shaabi's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Yaman Shaabi is ranked 291,881^st in the world and 1^st in South Yemen for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 1,724.71 Standard Monetary Units.
