The United States of Mee Sta Coul is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 12.785 billion Mee Sta Coulians 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 medium-sized, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 35.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Mee Sta Coulian economy, worth 283 trillion lire a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 22,140 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mee Sta Coul's national animal is the penguin.

Mee Sta Coul is ranked 296,038^th in the world and 12,228^th in Lazarus for Smartest Citizens, with 9.37 quips per hour.
