The Republic of Yezzi is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The quiet, industrious population of 129 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 4.60 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 191,004^th in the world and 1^st in Leonida for Highest Poor Incomes, with 21,474.4 Standard Monetary Units.
