The Federation of Meraltily is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory vegetarianism, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.238 billion Meraltilyians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Spirituality and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Education receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The very strong Meraltilyian economy, worth 96.8 trillion Merons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 78,217 Merons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 312,871 per year while the poor average 13,133, a ratio of 23.8 to 1.

Colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Meraltily, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Meraltily in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Meraltily's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Meraltily is ranked 236,798^th in the world and 2^nd in Versy for Most Secular, with 14.1 Atheism Rate.
