The Grand Duchy of Meadville is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Grand Duke Mark IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, prohibition of alcohol, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.692 billion Meadvilleans 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meadville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Meadvillean economy, worth a remarkable 2,964 trillion Meads a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 216,518 Meads, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,343,698 per year while the poor average 15,009, a ratio of 89.5 to 1.

Actively encouraging climate change is helping reduce winter fuel costs, all gamers have been drafted into the military despite their lack of upper body strength, nobility is the world's oldest profession, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Meadville's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Meadville is ranked 44,889th in the world and 22nd in KAISERREICH for Most Stationary, with 982.30741298952 days.
