The Dominion White Ensign of Memester is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Knight of the South with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.469 billion Memesterians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mayrina Bay and Londonium. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Memesterian economy, worth 314 trillion Memesterian Memebuxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 127,406 Memesterian Memebuxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, foreign governments are threatened if they so much as mention the word "election", the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and war vets look after war animals. Crime is totally unknown. Memester's national animal is the Combat Maids, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Order of the Archon of Liberty.

Memester is ranked 105,891^st in the world and 4,315^th in The North Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 137,837 Standard Monetary Units.
