The Republic of Meramount is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning Owl population. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.885 billion Meramountians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 40.8%.

The strong Meramountian economy, worth 408 trillion Bits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 51,857 Bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meramount's national animal is the Owl.

Meramount is ranked 106,356^th in the world and 2,496^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,278.97 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
