The United Federation of Merconia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Ron McKendrik with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.772 billion Merconians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.
The very strong Merconian economy, worth 136 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 77,038 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 9.1 times as much as the poorest.
Heated town halls quickly descend into shootouts between politicians and their constituents, Merconian actors literally work from cradle to grave, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, and truancy officers have a hard time catching children trained in advanced camouflage skills. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Merconia's national animal is the Lion and its national religion is Stellate Axonity.
Merconia is ranked 56,505th in the world and 76th in Confederation of Corrupt Dictators for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,103.91 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
