The Grey Wardens of Merlins clone Merlinda from Universe 63 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Merlin with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, lack of airports, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 14.931 billion Grey Wardens 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Dark City midst the Endless Void. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Warden economy, worth a remarkable 2,696 trillion Manas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 180,614 Manas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, the government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels, and teenagers sit around on their butts all day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Merlins clone Merlinda from Universe 63's national animal is the Undead, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Some weird Squid Thing.

Merlins clone Merlinda from Universe 63 is ranked 126,245th in the world and 147th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,493.43 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
