The Kingdom of Myeri is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 445 million Myeriens are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dyvei. The average income tax rate is 84.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Myerien economy, worth 27.2 trillion Dove Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 61,158 Dove Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious, Harry Potter books are banned, there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', and immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Myeri's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Myeri is ranked 5,291st in the world and 6th in A Taco Paradise for Most Primitive, scoring 119.94 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
