The Republic of Meester is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning falcon population. The hard-working population of 1.609 billion Meesterians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.5%.

The Meesterian economy, worth 74.4 trillion lire a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Average income is 46,233 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meester's national animal is the falcon, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Meester is ranked 56,750^th in the world and 1^st in The Very cool frontier for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,354.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
