The Republic of Yezzi is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The quiet, industrious population of 259 million Yezzians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 17.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Yezzian economy, worth 9.24 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,672 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Yezzi's national animal is the lion.

Yezzi is ranked 238,321^st in the world and 1^st in Leonida for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 29,572.38 Standard Monetary Units.
