The Democratic Republic of Mercia-Northumbria is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Anton Černovos with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.072 billion Mercian-Northumbrians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manjasal. The average income tax rate is 91.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Mercian-Northumbrian economy, worth 425 trillion pounds a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 83,897 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Manjasal Natural History Museum, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, vacationers and business travelers are often warned that they may lose the right to vote if they spend too much time overseas, and adverts depict men giving birth while cursing the women who got them into trouble. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mercia-Northumbria's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Mercia-Northumbria is ranked 251,025th in the world and 9,374th in Lazarus for Most Primitive, scoring -120.66 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
