The Republic of Meintjies is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its burgeoning cobra population. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.097 billion Meintjiesians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The very strong Meintjiesian economy, worth 325 trillion rubles a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 79,402 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Meintjies's national animal is the cobra.

Meintjies is ranked 196,952^nd in the world and 8,040^th in Lazarus for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
