The United Socialist States of The Socialist Peoples Republic of Merka is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare.

The frighteningly efficient Merkan economy, worth a remarkable 3,079 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.

The Socialist Peoples Republic of Merka's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
