The Commonwealth of Mameath is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Saihtam with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 4.413 billion Mameathians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Memalak. The average income tax rate is 70.5%.

The all-consuming Mameathian economy, worth 479 trillion Methaiers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,583 Methaiers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, the Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on Mameath, the official Mameathian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, and the new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mameath's national animal is the Monkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christanity.

Mameath is ranked 25,319^th in the world and 268^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,650.82 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
