The Commonwealth of Yellunstryer is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Max Alfred with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 15.112 billion Yellunstrians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Melchester. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Yellunstryerian economy, worth a remarkable 2,885 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 190,958 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army consists of only generals and grunts, the media seems excessively interested in what Max Alfred is wearing this season, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime is totally unknown. Yellunstryer's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Atheism.

Yellunstryer is ranked 2,354^th in the world and 63^rd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 764.49 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
