The People's Republic of MNN 8th Naval Infantry Regiment is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The democratic population of 1.036 billion naval infantries 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 Welfare, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Melicorian economy, worth 6.72 trillion dollars 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 Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 6,489 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MNN 8th Naval Infantry Regiment's national animal is the mourning dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

MNN 8th Naval Infantry Regiment is ranked 197,009^th in the world and 4,609^th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Black Market, with 22.9 billion Standard Monetary Units.
