The Republic of Grand Mecklenburg is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and devotion to social welfare. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 514 million Mecklenburgers enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rostock. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.2%.

The very strong Grand Mecklenburgian economy, worth 35.2 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 68,457 marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', and Grand Mecklenburg has designated Rostock as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grand Mecklenburg's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Grand Mecklenburg is ranked 96,224^th in the world and 34^th in Fireball World Region for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 995.74 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
