The United Socialist States of Mesopotamia Glory is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Sovereign with an iron fist, and renowned for its feral children, digital currency, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10.186 billion Mesopotamia Gloryians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mesopotamia. The average income tax rate is 79.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Mesopotamia Gloryian economy, worth a remarkable 1,142 trillion Gold Coins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 112,124 Gold Coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, the holiest shrine in Melchizedek is on another world, and panels from bankrupt rooftop solar companies are used as props for sci-fi B-movies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mesopotamia Glory's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Melchizedek.

Mesopotamia Glory is ranked 37,118^th in the world and 10^th in Ancient for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
