The Retired Beloved Founder of Mencer the great is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.188 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 59%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

Many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mencer the great's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Mark.

Mencer the great is ranked 2nd in mencer and 27,173rd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
