The Holy Byzantine Empire of Melanocytes is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Grand Holy Emperor Christopher the Great with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 22.598 billion Greeks hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Κωνσταντινούπολη. The average income tax rate is 3.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hellenic economy, worth a remarkable 8,508 trillion Golden Drachmas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 376,509 Golden Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government strictly regulates whale harvest quotas, nephews and nieces of the monarch resort to begging from relatives in palace halls, being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, and the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Melanocytes's national animal is the Byzantine Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Greek Orthodox Christianity.

Melanocytes is ranked 242,533rd in the world and 46th in Eastern Roman Empire for Most Stationary, with 21.16111145688 days.
