The Free Democratic Republic of Merriwhether is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor Maru Satsaen'yak with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.481 billion Merriwhethrans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Turesiman't. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Merriwhetherian economy, worth a remarkable 8,626 trillion Lashytsas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 313,925 Lashytsas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every citizen is allowed exactly fifteen minutes of fame, there's nothing special about Chancellor Maru Satsaen'yak, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Merriwhether's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Merriwhether is ranked 293,481^st in the world and 2^nd in The Imperial Guard for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
