The Great Flowen Confederarion of H Mekhus is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Szymon Craig with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.456 billion Meks are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meco Land. The average income tax rate is 73.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming H Mekhus economy, worth 263 trillion Flons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 76,202 Flons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has heavily invested in badly drawn monkeys, public executions just aren't the cheery spectacles they once were, the police are tightening their grip on alcohol smugglers, and a long-distance hike gets students geared up for a long day at school. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. H Mekhus's national animal is the Flower, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Flowerite.

H Mekhus is ranked 157,433rd in the world and 2nd in The H Region for Most Stationary, with 133.94336566508 days.
