The Easter Egg of Yertis is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Kojasta with an iron fist, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.137 billion Yirtasians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Koj. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.4%.

The all-consuming Yirtasian economy, worth 305 trillion cavamarks a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,375 cavamarks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 197,950 per year while the poor average 13,260, a ratio of 14.9 to 1.

Lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, books are so highly regarded in Yertis that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, and universities now offer degrees in cycling etiquette. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yertis's national animal is the Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Quesbianism.

Yertis is ranked 245,779th in the world and 44th in Quesbia Puppet Storage for Safest, scoring 32.63 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
