The W15 of M e r c e d e s is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Toto Wolff with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The cynical population of 21.759 billion M e r c e d e sians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brackley. The average income tax rate is 46.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient M e r c e d e sian economy, worth 728 trillion James Allisons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,465 James Allisons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

1970 has been named as M e r c e d e s's national religion, the government is cutting back on the number of political prisoners executed each year, major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings, and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. M e r c e d e s's national animal is the Mercedes, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is 1970.

M e r c e d e s is ranked 127,790^th in the world and 4^th in Formula 1 for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
