The Kingdom of Yellington is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Pissian von Poopenfarten with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, zero percent divorce rate, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.72 billion Yellingtonians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Environment and Education are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyneheawickshare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Yellingtonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,874 trillion Younds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 242,816 Younds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,761,867 per year while the poor average 10,550, a ratio of 167 to 1.

The police double as repo men, a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, holiday gift-giving is often peppered with songs of praise to morally-questionable televangelists, and cute fluffy little Pissian von Poopenfartens are increasingly popular exotic pets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Yellington's national animal is the Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sussexism.

Yellington is ranked 333,006th in the world and 3,478th in the Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 7.19 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
