The Socialist Federal Republic of A Memer is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Chairman Khristina with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed population of 4.478 billion memers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nördesté. The average income tax rate is 62.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse a memer economy, worth 491 trillion Memerian Forints a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 109,751 Memerian Forints, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teenage girls worry that they'll be unpopular if their skirts aren't short enough, it's been a banner year for local vexillology, Max Barry is this year's Miss A Memer, and disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Memer's national animal is the Memer Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christian Communism.

A Memer is ranked 46,503^rd in the world and 21^st in The Labyrinth for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 93.3 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
