“Hopeless Life Is Death”

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

The Macedonian Kingdom of Meadrin is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Swordbearer Erebus with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, digital currency, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 4.448 billion Meadrishes are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lamia. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Meadrinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,517 trillion Meadrish Dracmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 341,118 Meadrish Dracmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A degree in Swordbearer Erebus Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, supervisors in Meadrin commonly tie bells on their necks to alert employees of their presence, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, and community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meadrin's national animal is the Bronze Vulture, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Crymenathea.

Meadrin is ranked 189,020^th in the world and 118^th in Institute of Cellulose for Most Extreme, scoring 13.36 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
