The Republic of Meercovo is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Nicholas Lemieux with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 5.439 billion Meercovians 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 prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Meercovian economy, worth 616 trillion Meercovian Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,270 Meercovian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign nations often blame poverty and terrorism on Meercovian selfishness, corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products, the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meercovo's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Meercovo is ranked 200,265th in the world and 8th in Citreon for Most Stationary, with 47.12998372568 days.
