The Socialist Alliance of Mercobia is a behemoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Na-aroénna with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 50.177 billion Mercobians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pan. The average income tax rate is 1.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mercobian economy, worth an astonishing 19,921 trillion harps a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an amazing 397,024 harps, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

National foreign policy involves significant amounts of hand wringing, men are enrolling into lady etiquette courses, dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Mercobian citizenship, and diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mercobia's national animal is the narwhal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Mercobia is ranked 2,925^th in the world and 5^th in Antarctica for Safest, scoring 136.94 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
