The Republic of Melenavenia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Lola Kulai with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.445 billion Melenavenians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District of Patricia. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Melenavenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,580 trillion MDS 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 167,350 MDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's harder to qualify for IVF than for a good university, anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, marijuana is legal in the privacy of your own home, and the nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Melenavenia's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Melenavenia is ranked 1,543^rd in the world and 13^th in Refugia for Safest, scoring 153.52 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
