The Doot of Melons is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Melon Boi with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 12.849 billion Melons 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Melonsville. The average income tax rate is 62.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Melon economy, worth a remarkable 2,568 trillion Skyrims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 199,860 Skyrims, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and glamping Melons won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Melons's national animal is the Melon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Melonism.
Melons is ranked 14,238th in the world and 2nd in Just relax for Most Cultured, scoring 103 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
