The Community of Meadina is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.629 billion Meadinans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.
The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Administration, with Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.
The very strong Meadinan economy, worth 437 trillion rupies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 66,056 rupies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 325,537 per year while the poor average 7,640, a ratio of 42.6 to 1.
The government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Meadina City, and the Federal Council of Meadina has been announced as the new Head of State. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Meadina's national animal is the ferret.
Meadina is ranked 90,206th in the world and 26th in Grace of Gaia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,369.44 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
