The Theocracy of Yammstan is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 6.652 billion Yammstanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.5%.

The all-consuming Yammstanian economy, worth 531 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 79,898 yen, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 406,995 per year while the poor average 8,656, a ratio of 47.0 to 1.

The legal profession considers itself above the law, most people suffer from some form of hearing loss, chest pains are considered part of the dining experience in Yammstanian restaurants, and boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Yammstan's national animal is the tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Yammstan is ranked 290,391^st in the world and 1,633^rd in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Lowest Crime Rates, with 29.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
