The Republic of Mercia Regnum is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by MatBoyler with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.004 billion Mercians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tamworth. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mercian economy, worth a remarkable 1,522 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 138,314 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, the national colors help to make everyone look slimmer, and sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mercia Regnum's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Celtica.

Mercia Regnum is ranked 27,599th in the world and 2nd in The Celtic Union of Celticae for Most Cultured, scoring 82 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
