The Republic of Central Mercia is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 338 million Central Mercians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 10.0%.

The thriving Central Mercian economy, worth 27.8 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 82,195 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The fire protection service is wholly government-funded, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness, and it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Central Mercia's national animal is the snow leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Central Mercia is ranked 251,833^rd in the world and 8^th in Galicia and Blackrow for Most Authoritarian, with 355.42 milliStalins.
