The Empire of Meglomania is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Emperor Simon The Magnificent with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, avant-garde cinema, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.997 billion Meglomanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Meglomania City. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Meglomanian economy, worth 143 trillion Vouchers 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 71,712 Vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

According to the latest national census as many as two-thirds of the respondents possibly consider 'violet' their favorite color, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, heretic deviants are free to practice their deviance outside of Meglomania, and the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meglomania's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Judaism.

Meglomania is ranked 121,360^th in the world and 2,432^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 19.34 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
