The Land Down Under of Merlovich is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed population of 11.593 billion Merlovichans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hirane. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Merlovichan economy, worth a remarkable 1,806 trillion Merlovichan Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,832 Merlovichan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, Leader has been nicknamed 'Robomop', snitches get riches, and bad punctuation has come to a full stop. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Merlovich's national animal is the Wallaby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dispatchism.

Merlovich is ranked 21,004th in the world and 328th in The East Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,576.67660898188 days.
