The Armed Republic of Yusuf Temdegen is a tiny, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning hamster 'n' horse population. The hard-working population of 18 million soldiers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 21.2%.

The military economy, worth 743 billion Altans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 41,297 Altans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yusuf Temdegen's national animal is the hamster 'n' horse.

Yusuf Temdegen is ranked 132,455^th in the world and 1^st in EastBloc for Most Armed, with 0.32 Weapons Per Person.
