The Kingdom of Meppel NLD is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, enslaved workforce, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.917 billion Meppel NLDians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Meppel NLDian economy, worth 420 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 144,003 euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 587,427 per year while the poor average 23,403, a ratio of 25.1 to 1.

Fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, among slaves 'bastard' is an honorific rather than an insult, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, and the sun rises an hour later on border communities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meppel NLD's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Meppel NLD is ranked 145,157^th in the world and 299^th in Aerospace for Highest Food Quality, scoring 16.09 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
