The Federation of Melkanaan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 12.72 billion Melkanaanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, with Law & Order and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and Industry receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.
The Melkanaanian economy, worth 643 trillion Ganaans a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 50,557 Ganaans, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 203,506 per year while the poor average 8,401, a ratio of 24.2 to 1.
9 out of 10 consumers think that vitamins can cure cancer, raindances intended to summon storms instead attract tourists, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Melkanaan's national animal is the Gazelle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of Melkart.
Melkanaan is ranked 141,295th in the world and 134th in The World Rearranged for Most Stationary, with 200.93704501132 days.
