The Constitutional Monarchy of Mereistan is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Sealandball XV with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, aversion to nipples, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 2.92 billion Mereis are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mer-en-Ville. The average income tax rate is 56.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mereistanian economy, worth 353 trillion Merei Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 120,944 Merei Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Racial supremacists indulge their wildest fantasies in cinemas and theatres across the nation, government officials go door-to-door educating about the dangers of pseudoscience, many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, and Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Mereistan as a reminder of their "special relationship". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mereistan's national animal is the North American Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mereistan is ranked 23,283^rd in the world and 14^th in Arctica for Most Cultured, scoring 88 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
