The Armed Republic of Mesimaria is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.126 billion Mesimarians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Mesimarian economy, worth 50.3 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 16,088 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mesimaria's national animal is the skrolatzy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mesimaria is ranked 119,635^th in the world and 3^rd in West Corvinia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 654.02 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
