The Republic of Meercovo is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Nicholas Lemieux with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 5.588 billion Meercovians 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 large government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Meercovian economy, worth 626 trillion Meercovian Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,135 Meercovian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Meercovian selfishness, corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meercovo's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Meercovo is ranked 146,755^th in the world and 3^rd in Citreon for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 793.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
