The Alliance of Smugglers and Mercs is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by apemax with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cheerful population of 35.548 billion Smugglers and Mercsians 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 Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Smugglers and Mercs City. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.
The frighteningly efficient Smugglers and Mercsian economy, worth a remarkable 7,017 trillion pounds a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 197,418 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Smugglers and Mercs's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is a major religion.
