Yohannes is a collection of nineteen countries, located in an archipelago of two main landmasses and 5,803 smaller islands east of the Greater Dienstad region. It is made up of three kingdoms, five grand duchies, eight duchies and three principalities. Its three kingdoms dominate its cultural, economic and political atmosphere; Alexandria, Burmecia and Lindblum, and account for around 53% of its total area. The countries are subordinated to a mixed member proportional unicameral national parliament known de-facto as His Majesty's House of Representative; with seats directly linked to the total population of their constituents. An executive body to govern the empire comes from the highest voted political party by the electorate once every 4 years. The government are led by the Premier, with the Emperor or Empress overseeing and signing the passing of every single law affecting the land. This executive body is responsible for important affairs of the empire, such as foreign relations and defence.

Yohannes is a member of the World Assembly through its Security Council and General Assembly Office. The empire is a subject of the World Assembly Security Council Resolution #149, passed in 2014 for its contribution and importance to international commerce and trade, in the process becoming the 39th nation to have been commended in the world. Its economy is home to one of the oldest GE&T index-listed financial institutions, and it was a notable arms exporter before its self-imposed policy of neutrality and isolation from international diplomacy. There are, however, still many improvements to be made: the omnipresent government influence on its citizens' ways of life, as well as the undue influence and sway of its somewhat unscrupulous arms manufacturing and corrupt banking lobby factions on domestic political decision making, being just two of the most visible failings of the nation in the eyes of outside observers and pundits.

Its total area is 17,801,281 km². There are around 3.8 billion people residing in mainland Yohannes, composed of 50% Pākehā (Yohannesians of non-English speaking European ancestry) and 42% Yohānnesi (the 'first people' of the land, of mixed Javanese and Māori ancestries). There are 8% of people referred to as 'others', that is - recent migrants or people of non Yohānnesi or non Pākehā origin. Around 2.7 billion Yohannesians reside in Crown overseas realms, and there are around 500 million diasporas residing in multiple trading partner-nations of Yohannes abroad.
