The Peaceful Democracy of Melyta is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Maharaja and Maharani with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 36.444 billion Melytans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Majiswati. The average income tax rate is 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Melytan economy, worth a remarkable 3,216 trillion coins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,257 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most coin coins are riddled with bite marks, the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, there's a bright dawn ahead for Melyta, and diminutive Melytan generals are feared for their aggressiveness. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Melyta's national animal is the peryton, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is worship of elemental gods.

Melyta is ranked 299,774^th in the world and 8^th in Lodoss for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -12.29 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
