The Conciliar Republic of Menerba is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 641 million Menerbans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Menèrba. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Menerban economy, worth 66.8 trillion pesetas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 104,208 pesetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Menerban government is the world's largest NGO, the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, and employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Menerba's national animal is the little owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Menerba is ranked 19,627^th in the world and 286^th in Europe for Highest Poor Incomes, with 92,341.61 Standard Monetary Units.
