The Little Gunboat that Could of USS Merrimack is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Captain Franklin Buchanan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.886 billion USS Merrimackians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hampton Roads. The average income tax rate is 48.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong USS Merrimackian economy, worth 744 trillion Confederate Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,035 Confederate Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The navy plans patrols according to how many pubs nearby ports have, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, and refugees from other nations are flocking to USS Merrimack's border. Crime is totally unknown. USS Merrimack's national animal is the Cottonbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

USS Merrimack is ranked 273,063rd in the world and 605th in The Wellspring for Most Stationary, with 9.80101456068 days.
