The Land Down Under of Merlovich is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.532 billion Merlovichans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hirane. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Merlovichan economy, worth a remarkable 1,789 trillion Merlovichan Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,216 Merlovichan Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sworn provincial enemies must be held back in Leader's cabinet meetings, bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, and the meaning of life was recently discovered in the patch notes for Version 1.42. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Merlovich's national animal is the Wallaby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dispatchism.

Merlovich is ranked 9,872nd in the world and 249th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 100.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
