The Socialist Alliance of Mercobia is a behemoth, efficient nation, ruled by Na-aroénna with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 50.184 billion Mercobians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pan. The average income tax rate is 1.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mercobian economy, worth an astonishing 19,927 trillion harps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an amazing 397,079 harps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them, the thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, and civil engineers are undermining sinkholes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mercobia's national animal is the narwhal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Mercobia is ranked 1,789^th in the world and 6^th in Antarctica for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 8,573.45 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
