The Nation of Mertagne is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Regent with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 11.216 billion Mertagnians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dannin. The average income tax rate is 82.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Mertagnian economy, worth a remarkable 2,342 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 208,823 Ducats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Politicians can be seen taking candy from babies, the government has enacted freedom of information, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, and Mertagne isn't what it used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mertagne's national animal is the Giant Elk, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Mertagne is ranked 302,801st in the world and 71st in Anaia for Fattest Citizens, with 2.74 Obesity Rate.
