The Kingdom of PlanetMercury is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Freddie Mercury with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.131 billion PlanetMercuries are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kensington. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.5%.
The frighteningly efficient PlanetMercuryian economy, worth a remarkable 2,881 trillion pounds 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 284,429 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.
Amorous nobles always bring the same disappointing gift to weddings, the police motto is "to protect and not to serve", the military has grudgingly released all top secret information in an effort for greater transparency, and squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. PlanetMercury's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
PlanetMercury is ranked 257,301st in the world and 5,157th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 337.18 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
