The Tumbling Trickster of Meerca is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 7.33 billion Meercans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Meercan economy, worth 446 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 60,955 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, clerics are taught that silence is golden and duct tape is silver, the government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains, and families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meerca's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Meerca is ranked 82,706^th in the world and 6^th in The Apolean Frontiers for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 3,491.24 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
