The Dominion of Melenavenia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Dahlia DuPont with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, aversion to nipples, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.986 billion Melenavenians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District of Patricia. The average income tax rate is 92.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Melenavenian economy, worth 251 trillion MDS 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 126,432 MDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, Prime Minister Dahlia DuPont's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and birth rates have hit an all-time low. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Melenavenia's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Melenavenia is ranked 32,218^th in the world and 23^rd in Refugia for Most Politically Free, scoring 79.24 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
