The Republic of Menouria is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Julia Richardson with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 15.103 billion Menourians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Warwick. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Menourian economy, worth a remarkable 1,533 trillion rittiles a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,563 rittiles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially, all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and Julia Richardson steals from the rich and gives to the needy. Crime is totally unknown. Menouria's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Menouria is ranked 50,749^th in the world and 1,576^th in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 26.22 Atheism Rate.
