The Meridonian Federation of Legatia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Yui Townley with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 27.789 billion Meridonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cordelia. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Meridonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,630 trillion Dollars a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 94,666 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists outnumber citizens two to one, restaurants are required to specify whether their toilet paper was made in Legatia, the price of freedom is about half a million Dollars, and the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Legatia's national animal is the Wedgetail Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Undesignated.

Legatia is ranked 16,313^th in the world and 5^th in The Strategic and Economic Alliance for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.44 law-abiding acts per hour.
