The Republic of Megalodon is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 2.388 billion Megalodonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 56.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Megalodonian economy, worth 103 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,387 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, no animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, and thrift shops are closing their doors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Megalodon's national animal is the porpoise.

Megalodon is ranked 258,840^th in the world and 390^th in Concord for Largest Black Market, with 138 billion Standard Monetary Units.
