Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Eternal Noldorin Empire of Menelmacar is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Elentári Sirithil nos Fëanor with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 22.431 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vinyatírion. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Book Publishing.

The nation's WA representatives have received a very public sacking after Menelmacar allowed its WA membership to lapse, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, bombs are permitted on planes for the 'security of the passengers', and a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Menelmacar's national animal is the Great Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Menelmacari credit.

Menelmacar is ranked 4th in Tareldanore and 125,385th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 21 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
