The Communal States of New Mecklenburg is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Morgain Le Fey with a fair hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.885 billion New-Meckians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Guevarington. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Mecklenburgian economy, worth 346 trillion MarReds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 120,043 MarReds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The New Mecklenburgian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Mecklenburg's national animal is the Southeastern Coyote, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Mecklenburg is ranked 25,229th in the world and 4th in North Carolina for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.79 law-abiding acts per hour.
