The Twenty Five Free lands of Meropis is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, unlimited-speed roads, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 25.62 billion Meropisians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Big Place. The average income tax rate is 1.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Meropisian economy, worth an astonishing 13,956 trillion Pompas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 544,744 Pompas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

God took rock and roll from you, took rock and roll from everyone, the Farmer's Almanac is the most popular college textbook, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, and every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Meropis's national animal is the Bombus Terrestris, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Truth.

Meropis is ranked 14,767th in the world and 217th in Europe for Most Secular, with 83.86 Atheism Rate.
