The Union of Mecca-Switzerland is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Hussein with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 5.096 billion schweizer-arabiers 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wildedstein. The average income tax rate is 81.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Mecca-Switzerlandian economy, worth 642 trillion Gold Francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 126,029 Gold Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Disputed territories across The North Pacific are being claimed by Mecca-Switzerlandian college students, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, and glamping schweizer-arabiers won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mecca-Switzerland's national animal is the LION, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Islam.

Mecca-Switzerland is ranked 9,935^th in the world and 461^st in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,788.49 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
