The Land Down Under of Merlovich

“You'll come a-waltzing matilda with me”

Overview • Map • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Land Down Under of Merlovich is a titanic, genial nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 16.835 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 Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hirane. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Merlovichan economy, worth a remarkable 2,691 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 159,882 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children who refuse to share their crayons are arrested, job descriptions are required to list the length of their siesta breaks, politicians no longer click with dating app matches, and resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands. 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 281,797^th in the world and 3,818^th in The East Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 6.09 Obesity Rate.
