The Democratic Republic of Yemeni Locusts is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Saadia Kobashi HaLevi with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The quiet, industrious population of 10.388 billion Yemenis enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sana'a. The average income tax rate is 39.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Yemeni economy, worth 780 trillion rials 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 Gambling, Retail, Tourism, and 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. Average income is 75,120 rials, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Immigrants are asked to leave their cultural traditions and pride at the border, student exchange programs are in trouble as everyone wants to leave but no-one wants to come, graffiti graces every city's streets, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Yemeni Locusts's national animal is the grasshopper.

Yemeni Locusts is ranked 265,727^th in the world and 5,152^nd in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 41.05 law-abiding acts per hour.
