The Totally Sane Regime of Mercian Legions is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Robert Malone Marques with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.844 billion Mercians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberty. The average income tax rate is 93.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mercian economy, worth 303 trillion Imperial Currencies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 164,835 Imperial Currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sexuality-questioning teenagers are placed in locked rooms with dirty magazines and lewd posters, the military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams, community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, and dubiously qualified East Lebatuckese doctors prescribe ice baths as a treatment for pneumonia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mercian Legions's national animal is the Sand Manticore, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mercian Legions is ranked 63,495^th in the world and 7^th in THE W0RLD for Most Authoritarian, with 1,478.11 milliStalins.
