The Marxist Republic of Melanesia and Micronesia is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Chancellor Julia O'Hearn with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 895 million Melanesia and Micronesians 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bahari. The average income tax rate is 87.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Melanesia and Micronesian economy, worth 104 trillion Acquas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 116,688 Acquas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, and one of the most popular models in Melanesia and Micronesia has a scarred face and one working eye. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Melanesia and Micronesia's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Melanesia and Micronesia is ranked 77,102^nd in the world and 468^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,878.19 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
