The Republic of Mestov is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Alden Rossi with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.189 billion Mestovians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valence. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mestovian economy, worth 907 trillion Vineroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 174,852 Vineroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Alden Rossi's speeches are beloved by insomniacs, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, where there's smoke there's the Mestovian Forestry Department, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mestov's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mestov is ranked 163,602^nd in the world and 3,034^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 401.8 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
