The State of Meadow Pond is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and notable for its burgeoning deer population. The hard-working population of 17.855 billion Meadow Pondians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 19.3%.

The Meadow Pondian economy, worth 761 trillion betales a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Retail, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 42,627 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist, Meadow Pond has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Meadow Pond in an international press conference. Crime is relatively low. Meadow Pond's national animal is the deer.
