The Kingdom of Melonio is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, avowedly heterosexual populace, and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 457 million Amelonions have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Education, and Welfare are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Horia. The average income tax rate is 27.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Melonioan economy, worth 23.0 trillion Lons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,311 Lons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, the government is financing an extremely costly war against malaria, the latest superhero movie features a caped Cosmic Serpent with adamantium claws, and political hopefuls must announce their intentions decades in advance to accommodate extensive background checks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Melonio's national animal is the Cosmic Serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Melonio is ranked 203,079^th in the world and 3,883^rd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 38.81 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
