The Land Down Under of Merlovich is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The quiet, industrious population of 12.887 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 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 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Merlovichan economy, worth a remarkable 2,012 trillion 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 156,202 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
All mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, a flying elephant and Leader share the same nickname, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. 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.
Merlovich is ranked 237,710th in the world and 4,027th in The East Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 11.47 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
