The Republic of Meadowfields is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Mahata Roneik with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory vegetarianism, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.7 billion Meadowfieldians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meadowfields City. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Meadowfieldian economy, worth 202 trillion Meadowfieldian dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 119,410 Meadowfieldian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the Meadowfields City Blue Whales' triumph against long odds, Mahata Roneik has promised 'power to the puppies', passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast. Crime is totally unknown. Meadowfields's national animal is the blue whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Meadowfields is ranked 18,744^th in the world and 974^th in The North Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 64.48 quips per hour.
