The Insular Area of Meadowbrook Cay is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, ritual sacrifices, and smutty television. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.449 billion Meadowbrook Cayians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Meadowbrook Cayian economy, worth 264 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 107,915 Imperial Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, and kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meadowbrook Cay's national animal is the Argyrean Tobacco Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Meadowbrook Cay is ranked 218,481st in the world and 3rd in Archipelago for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
