The People's Republic of Mevraq is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 748 million Mevraqis enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minafi Aleasifa. The average income tax rate is 71.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Mevraqi economy, worth 23.1 trillion qiteas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 30,914 qiteas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's air missiles have killed thousands of Brasilistan military personnel, attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, treason is relative, and elite teams of assassins have been sent into Brasilistan. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mevraq's national animal is the shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Mevraq is ranked 185,754^th in the world and 119^th in The Internationale for Rudest Citizens, with 31.72 Insults Per Minute.
