The Socialist Alliance of Mercobia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Na-aroénna with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, anti-smoking policies, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 44.996 billion Mercobians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pan. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Mercobian economy, worth an astonishing 17,948 trillion harps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an amazing 398,892 harps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mothers drive their college-graduate children to work, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, Na-aroénna's reputation is hard as nails, and children seem to be getting better at lying these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mercobia's national animal is the narwhal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Mercobia is ranked 286,328^th in the world and 43^rd in Antarctica for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 0.9 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
