The Holy Empire of Meiara is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Holy Mother with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.816 billion Meiarans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Centria Divinitae. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Meiaran economy, worth 140 trillion Utrias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery and Book Publishing. Average income is 77,131 Utrias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Meiara is building an army to protect its overseas territories, parents often leave their kids in the car while they attend mindfulness meditation sessions, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, and soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meiara's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Matriarchis Divinitae.

Meiara is ranked 13,359^th in the world and 24^th in Aeternum for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 59.08 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
