The Rogue Nation of Eastern Mercantile Conglomerate is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Trade Minister Ka Chinga with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.493 billion Wealtharians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mercantis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Wealtharian economy, worth 325 trillion Gold teeths a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 130,538 Gold teeths, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.

Understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor, and an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern Mercantile Conglomerate's national animal is the Praying Mantis, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Wealtharianism.

Eastern Mercantile Conglomerate is ranked 12,895^th in the world and 1^st in Mercantis for Most Primitive, scoring 89.43 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
