The Bloody Shadow of Mekhet is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 25.32 billion Mekkyians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 61.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Mekhetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,900 trillion tacoes a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 75,066 tacoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Farmers are complaining that the buzzing and the sparks from the nearby MagRail are blighting their crops, the men in trenchcoats hanging around playgrounds are actually police officers, flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, and gay hospital patients are labelled with a pink triangle to alert staff of their substandard blood. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mekhet's national animal is the Badger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Mekhet is ranked 257,416th in the world and 4,928th in The North Pacific for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 53.62 Workforce Participation Rate.
