The Democratic Republic of M e is a colossal, genial nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 2.504 billion Maans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 10.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient M ean economy, worth 100 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,020 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control. M e's national animal is the elephant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

M e is ranked 197,255^th in the world and 4^th in Soap Opera for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
