The Republic of Menshelvia is a very large, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 211 million Mensheviks live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The powerhouse Menshevik economy, worth 15.3 trillion Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 72,629 Rubles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 272,207 per year while the poor average 13,550, a ratio of 20.1 to 1.

Murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, it is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt, orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, and odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Menshelvia's national animal is the Brown Bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Menshelvia is ranked 84,828^th in the world and 22^nd in RGBN for Most Developed, scoring 65.63 on the Human Development Index.
