The Colony of Merinad is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 176 million Merin-ishes enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 18.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Merinadian economy, worth 8.02 trillion Ambers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Soda Sales. Average income is 45,548 Ambers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Religious households enthusiastically use whips in private, the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs, the government has little issue with allowing its citizens to languish in foreign jails, and bad punctuation has come to a full stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Merinad's national animal is the Fossa, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Merinad is ranked 248,393rd in the world and 13th in Nova Britannia Prima for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring zero on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
