Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Nationalist Nation of Mercian Legions is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 614 million Mercians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberty. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mercian economy, worth 76.2 trillion Imperial Currencies 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 124,064 Imperial Currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, top-shelf magazines feature risqué centrefold spreads of ladies' wrists, deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails, and hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mercian Legions's national animal is the Sand Manticore, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mercian Legions is ranked 205,030^th in the world and 3,712^th in the South Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -1.79 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
