The Republic of Mesenia is a massive, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.194 billion Mesenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Mesenian economy, worth 114 trillion Dracmas a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 95,662 Dracmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, students do more community service than homework, vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, and Leader is too busy listening to praise to get any work done. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mesenia's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mesenia is ranked 13,385^th in the world and 584^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,832.91 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
