The Queendom of Menopaula is a massive, genial nation, notable for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.313 billion Menopaulans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Menopaulan economy, worth 30.7 trillion Pollypockets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 23,411 Pollypockets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, the nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and the latest national park is visited by more sharks than people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Menopaula's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Menopaula is ranked 123,145^th in the world and 2,512^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,568.7 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
