The United Socialist States of Meiyi is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Chairman Jeong Shihong with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.316 billion Meiyese are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jingzhou. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Meiyese economy, worth 236 trillion Mings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. Average income is 44,566 Mings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Meiyese watches list strained wrists as a common side effect, would-be mescaline users often describe a crawling sensation on their skin, small shoes often wash up on the beach, and cremation is compulsory for the deceased. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meiyi's national animal is the Green Dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Meiyi is ranked 90,034^th in the world and 2,227^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,803.35 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
