The Escapist of Mesmeriser is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.692 billion Mesmeriserians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.7%.

The very strong Mesmeriserian economy, worth 232 trillion Teto's sanities a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 63,098 Teto's sanities, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead, maritime signalling has become tedious since only the Mesmeriserian flag can be displayed, surprising numbers of poor people are protesting against taxing the rich, and you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health. Crime is totally unknown. Mesmeriser's national animal is the Hatsune Miku, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Mesmeriser is ranked 290,233^rd in the world and 2^nd in The Region Game Parlament for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.96 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
