The Socialist Alliance of Mercobia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Na-aroénna with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 46.459 billion Mercobians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pan. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Mercobian economy, worth an astonishing 18,460 trillion harps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an amazing 397,350 harps, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work, East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, and toilet paper is considered a non-essential item in the embargo against Brasilistan. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mercobia's national animal is the narwhal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Mercobia is ranked 11,659^th in the world and 9^th in Antarctica for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,936.56 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
