The Empire of Meglomania is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Simon The Magnificent with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.036 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, 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 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Meglomanian economy, worth 154 trillion Vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 75,837 Vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, organ donation is compulsory, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, and where there's a will there is usually a password manager. 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 54,663^rd in the world and 1,355^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.48 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
