The Federal Republic of Meep17 is a very large, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 124 million Meep17ians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14.0%.

The Meep17ian economy, worth 6.19 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 49,954 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, organ donation is compulsory, and the nation faces constant invasions by foreign boy bands. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. Meep17's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Meep17 is ranked 191,743^rd in the world and 3^rd in Non Aligned Movement for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 344.57 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
