The Not Bad Nation of Mesvice is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Chad Chadley II with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 9.504 billion Mesviceans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mesvice City. The average income tax rate is 78.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mesvicean economy, worth a remarkable 1,260 trillion Sokrifts a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,646 Sokrifts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, pet rocks are sold by the pound, an epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, and door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mesvice's national animal is the Red Lipped Batfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Believism.

Mesvice is ranked 193,857^th in the world and 1,269^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 542 billion Standard Monetary Units.
