The Most Serene Republic of Maekeria is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 181 million Maekerians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 30.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Maekerian economy, worth 9.89 trillion Maeker Coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,619 Maeker Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, the government is interviewing for thousands of 'Religious Censor' positions, Maekerian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, and being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maekeria's national animal is the Double Headed Eagle.

Maekeria is ranked 104,518^th in the world and 219^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 83.14 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
