The Federation of Meraltily is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.44 billion Meraltilyians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Spirituality and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Education and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The thriving Meraltilyian economy, worth 118 trillion Merons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 81,994 Merons, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 563,913 per year while the poor average 4,252, a ratio of 132 to 1.

The government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, the nation's water should not be ingested while operating heavy machinery, and travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Meraltily's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Meraltily is ranked 322,902^nd in the world and 2^nd in Versy for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring -3.16 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
