The State of Mer is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 12.837 billion Merians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The strong Merian economy, worth 671 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 52,308 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 338,599 per year while the poor average 3,239, a ratio of 104 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, surveillance cameras are banned, and extreme political groups are outlawed. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Mer's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Mer is ranked 28,592nd in the world and 6th in Montserrat for Most Stationary, with 1,395.76478726552 days.
