The Frouretian Kingdom of Meadrin is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Parhenos III with an iron fist, and renowned for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.599 billion Meadrish 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kavala. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Meadrish economy, worth a remarkable 3,951 trillion Meadrish Drachmis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 459,540 Meadrish Drachmis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party, Amnesty Interregional has condemned Meadrin for ignoring crimes against humanity, and most people suffer from some form of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Meadrin's national animal is the Bronze Vulture, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Salubrian Crymenathea.

Meadrin is ranked 104,100^th in the world and 61^st in Institute of Cellulose for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,649.68 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
