The Conciliar Republic of Menerba is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its national health service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 755 million Menerbans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Menèrba. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Menerban economy, worth 82.6 trillion pesetas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 109,373 pesetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Menerban watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, and the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Menerba's national animal is the little owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Menerba is ranked 89,565^th in the world and 224^th in Europe for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 2,312.98 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
