The Free Land of Mel Watt is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning Giraffe population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.824 billion Mel Wattians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.

The very strong Mel Wattian economy, worth 900 trillion Platinums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 56,885 Platinums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 173,772 per year while the poor average 14,433, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mel Watt's national animal is the Giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mel Watt is ranked 200,036^th in the world and 346^th in Memeland United for Safest, scoring 41.71 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
