The Empire of Meglomania is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Simon The Magnificent with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.052 billion Meglomanians 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, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meglomania City. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Meglomanian economy, worth 168 trillion Vouchers 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 82,353 Vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A stitch in time could see you serving nine, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, the government is constantly producing new maps to accommodate the continual renaming of cities, and protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meglomania's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Judaism.

Meglomania is ranked 48,312^th in the world and 1,057^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 152.53 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
