The Federation of Mecklandd is a huge, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 220 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail industries.
Police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job, citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns, and lending firms are subject to strict government regulations. Crime is a problem. Mecklandd's national animal is the mecklandd robin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the linu.
The President of Mecklandd is the current Senior Senator of the Democracy of Sovereign States.
