The United States of Mesothallania is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Joe Biden with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, prohibition of alcohol, and national health service. The cynical, devout population of 5.218 billion Mesothallanians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Washington. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Mesothallanian economy, worth 335 trillion United States Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,263 United States Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers are noted for their ferocity and illiteracy, acupuncture is routinely prescribed for intravenous drug addicts, foreign militaries are taking a particular interest in the nation's abandoned borders and cities, and Mesothallanian diplomacy is by the book. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mesothallania's national animal is the bald eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Mesothallania is ranked 261,282nd in the world and 218th in Africa for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 24.75 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
