The Commonwealth Nation of Menydh is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Council Chairman John Southman with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.795 billion furries 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 large, liberal, 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 Penmarth. The average income tax rate is 88.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient furry economy, worth 497 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,073 Pound Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, the government has stated an intention to min-max its stats for 'teh pwnage', Council Chairman John Southman steals from the rich and gives to the needy, and radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Menydh's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State of Secularism.

Menydh is ranked 276,241^st in the world and 39^th in New United Kingdom of Albion for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.42 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
