The Most Serene Republic of Melimolac is a huge, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, public floggings, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 828 million Melimolacans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government prioritizes Defense, although Spirituality, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Collimiele. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.1%.

The all-consuming Melimolacan economy, worth 85.4 trillion soles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 103,190 soles, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

No suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines, claims adjusters are uselessly vague, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, and every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Melimolac's national animal is the Melimolacan sparrow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Melimolac is ranked 192,847^th in the world and 144^th in Fifth Empire for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 123.9 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
