The Empire of United Meguland is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 152 million Meguians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 50.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Meguian economy, worth 9.72 trillion gunpowders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 63,948 gunpowders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The United Meguland Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, it's illegal to be caught on tape, and textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Meguland's national animal is the turkey with shotgun, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

United Meguland is ranked 267,547^th in the world and 3^rd in WhenItsDone for Most Primitive, scoring -151.04 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
