The Kingdom of Mervay is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Callista IV with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, otherworldly petting zoo, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.918 billion Mervayans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asteria. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Mervayian economy, worth a remarkable 3,306 trillion Albats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 221,654 Albats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines, one does not simply walk into the tundra, pootling steam trains carry delighted tourists and frustrated businessmen from city to city at a snail's pace, and stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mervay's national animal is the Griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Solarianism.

Mervay is ranked 305,856^th in the world and 15^th in The Strategic and Economic Alliance for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 4,876.4 Standard Monetary Units.
