The Most Serene Republic of Meriasek is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 14.487 billion Meriasekians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
The relatively small, liberal government prioritizes Spirituality, although Education, Welfare, and Defense are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.
The very strong Meriasekian economy, worth 690 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 47,661 lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 138,032 per year while the poor average 13,041, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.
Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Meriasek's national animal is the streaked shearwater, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Meriasek is ranked 35,421st in the world and 1st in Baradoz for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 81.33 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
