The Principality of Mercs for Money is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 422 million mercs'cenaries are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 11.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Mercs'cenary economy, worth 46.8 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 110,858 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Meat-eating is frowned upon, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mercs for Money's national animal is the Dogpool, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mercs for Money is ranked 269,116^th in the world and 3,299^th in the West Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -155.14 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
