The United Socialist States of Melonsistan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Me with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.384 billion Melonsistanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Melonia. The average income tax rate is 87.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Melonsistanian economy, worth 271 trillion Roccs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is 80,194 Roccs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, snitches get riches, and online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Melonsistan. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Melonsistan's national animal is the Watermelon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Melonsistan is ranked 277,136^th in the world and 1,059^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -10.49 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
