The Twenty Four Free lands of Meropis is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 24.31 billion Meropisians 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, corrupt, liberal government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Big Place. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Meropisian economy, worth an astonishing 12,262 trillion Pompas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is a breathtaking 504,426 Pompas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,606,957 per year while the poor average 120,459, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.

The art of conversation has been rediscovered, invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie, no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, and code enforcement officers circle wealthy Meropisians like vultures. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Meropis's national animal is the Bombus Terrestris, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Truth.

Meropis is ranked 370th in the world and 6th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 546 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
