The Empire of Meglomania is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Simon The Magnificent with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.966 billion Meglomanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meglomania City. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Meglomanian economy, worth 139 trillion Vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 71,025 Vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods, government officials stay up all night in flame wars with their constituents, the government pours millions of Vouchers into rehabilitation programs annually, and virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meglomania's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Judaism.

Meglomania is ranked 173,771^st in the world and 3,196^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 99.28 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
