The Federative Republic of Membatak is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by First Speaker Leah Jimenez with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.97 billion Membatakians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saro. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Membatakian economy, worth a remarkable 1,279 trillion Takis a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 160,538 Takis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Only the richest get to see out of their windows, children prefer to begin their day with push-ups rather than breakfast, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, and citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Membatak's national animal is the Cockatiel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Membatak is ranked 286,866^th in the world and 1,223^rd in The Communist Bloc for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 4,173.99 Standard Monetary Units.
