The Kingdom of Merconitonitopia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by the Great One with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, parental licensing program, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.342 billion Merconites are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — prioritizes Defense, although Environment, Spirituality, and Industry are also considered important. 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 3,899 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 343,775 denars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arthritic citizens seem underrepresented at royal meet-and-greets, tie-dye has been outlawed for being 'too occult', a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and vaccinations are mandatory. 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 165,523^rd in the world and 568^th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -42.5 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
