The Queen's State of Melody Watson is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.931 billion Melody Watsonians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The very strong Melody Watsonian economy, worth 822 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 34,352 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 233,553 per year while the poor average 1,845, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned and voting is voluntary. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Melody Watson's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Melody Watson is ranked 287,965^th in the world and 9^th in Kentucky for Lowest Crime Rates, with 35.28 law-abiding acts per hour.
