The Socialist Alliance of Mercobia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Na-aroénna with an even hand, and renowned for its digital currency, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 44.697 billion Mercobians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pan. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Mercobian economy, worth an astonishing 17,901 trillion harps 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Trout Farming. 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 amazing 400,506 harps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, mums always ask their three-year-olds for permission before hugging them, graffiti graces every city's streets, and The Pipe Bomb Makers' Pop-Up Book can be found in preschool libraries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mercobia's national animal is the narwhal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Mercobia is ranked 10,471st in the world and 10th in Antarctica for Most Cultured, scoring 116 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
