The Constitutional Monarchy of Merda Magna is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.102 billion Merda Magnans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sewage. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Merda Magnan economy, worth 80.8 trillion Poops a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,304 Poops, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Expectant parents view twins with equal parts joy and suspicion, criminals are put to death while cuddling their favourite teddy bear, burgers often list "miscellaneous meats" in their ingredients, and Merda Magnans seem to be catching more chills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Merda Magna's national animal is the Skunk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Merda Magna is ranked 47,012^th in the world and 1,065^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 702.19 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
