The Democratic Republic of Melamesha is a large, genial nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 157 million Melameshans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 44.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Melameshan economy, worth 10.6 trillion Melamesha National Rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 67,763 Melamesha National Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Melamesha as a reminder of their "special relationship", the aims of top-secret Melameshan science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman, children are raised bilingual from an early age, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Melamesha's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Melamesha is ranked 25,939^th in the world and 15^th in UEPU Federal Republic for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,902.28 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
