The Neoclassical Realist Colony of Melian Isles is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 15.635 billion Melians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government prioritizes Spirituality, with Defense and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.1%.

The very strong Melian economy, worth 942 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 60,291 lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 174,609 per year while the poor average 16,497, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Crime is moderate. Melian Isles's national animal is the armadillo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Melian Isles is ranked 74,834^th in the world and 3^rd in Colonies for Most Patriotic, with 15.64 flags saluted per person per day.
