The Interplanetary Empire of Mellkor is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Melkor III with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate population of 2.747 billion Mellkorians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mordor. The average income tax rate is 15.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mellkorian economy, worth 179 trillion Gold Standards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,396 Gold Standards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Snitches get riches, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, it's never "just a game" with Mellkorian sports fans, and Mellkor successfully hosted the The Eternal Robotox Empire Olympics. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mellkor's national animal is the panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.

Mellkor is ranked 32,904^th in the world and 1^st in The Eternal Robotox Empire for Largest Soda Pop Sector, scoring 3,961.86 on the Addison-Fukk Productivity Rating.
