The Most Serene Kingdom of Merala is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Roque II with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, triple-decker prams, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cheerful population of 16.923 billion Meralans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ardoz. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Meralan economy, worth a remarkable 6,664 trillion Reais a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 393,804 Reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

War vets look after war animals, calling out of the blue has become taboo, dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, and religious bigotry and a fear of outsiders have replaced religious studies in schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Merala's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Merala is ranked 234th in the world and 4th in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 372.84 quips per hour.
