The Grand Duchy of Menerber is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.132 billion Menerberians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Menerberian economy, worth 771 trillion lire a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 94,903 lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 293,033 per year while the poor average 23,712, a ratio of 12.4 to 1.

Political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Menerber's radio stations, building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure, and appendix transplant figures have recently doubled. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Menerber's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Menerber is ranked 73,859th in the world and 1st in Neo Futurist for Most Stationary, with 639.98540290908 days.
