The |EXM| Arabic Merca'j Factory of Mellywood is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Neapel with an iron fist, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, pith helmet sales, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.763 billion Mellywoodians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rexistent. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mellywoodian economy, worth a remarkable 1,960 trillion diesels 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. 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 amazing 289,925 diesels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many friends and relatives of Neapel have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off, the nation's train stations are widely considered to be the ugliest in Anime Nations Against Liberals, and economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mellywood's national animal is the flying rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Mellywood.

Mellywood is ranked 215,441st in the world and 49th in Anime Nations Against Liberals for Most Stationary, with 32.86759702028 days.
