The Kingdom of Merconitonitopia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Great One with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 12.062 billion Merconites are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded morass — prioritizes Defense, with Environment, Spirituality, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drekk Kause Pyo. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Merconite economy, worth a remarkable 4,502 trillion denars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, extremely specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 373,243 denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, the police are tightening their grip on alcohol smugglers, forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, and an underground group of geologists hides new discoveries to protect them from being destroyed in the name of safety. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Merconitonitopia's national animal is the barnacle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Way of the Light.

Merconitonitopia is ranked 32,680^th in the world and 243^rd in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Most Extreme, scoring 28.36 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
