The Not Bad Nation of Mesvice is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Chad Chadley II with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, feral children, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.394 billion Mesviceans 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 Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mesvice City. The average income tax rate is 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mesvicean economy, worth 541 trillion Sokrifts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 123,283 Sokrifts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments", and mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mesvice's national animal is the Red Lipped Batfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Believism.

Mesvice is ranked 30,793^rd in the world and 1,128^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 215.97 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
