The Kingdom of Myeri is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 479 million Myeriens are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dyvei. The average income tax rate is 84.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Myerien economy, worth 31.8 trillion Dove Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 66,338 Dove Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, the serf suggestion box would work better if more serfs were literate, paranoid museum guards keep a lookout for any animated displays attempting to escape the premises after dark, and main battle tanks stalk the woods of Myeri in search of Doves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Myeri's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Myeri is ranked 233,180^th in the world and 494^th in A Taco Paradise for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
