The Constitutional Monarchy of Meadow Rise is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Judge Holden with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.175 billion Meadow Rises are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zissouville. The average income tax rate is 28.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Meadow Risean economy, worth 117 trillion Shoobas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,301 Shoobas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, government popup ads are springing up like weeds, surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, and the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meadow Rise's national animal is the Bat and its national religion is The Village Green Preservation Society.

Meadow Rise is ranked 271,092^nd in the world and 123^rd in Spiritus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.69 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
