The Community of Megelan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Captain of the People Giovanni Capra with an even hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, unlimited-speed roads, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 18.592 billion Megelanese enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vergate sul Membro. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Megelanese economy, worth a remarkable 1,552 trillion Megelanese pounds a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 83,499 Megelanese pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The most common psychiatric diagnosis is to 'stop whining and grow up', corporations are forbidden from employing outside the nation, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, and contemporary art museums showcase the latest in centuries-old art. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Megelan's national animal is the Half-woollen boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Megelanese traditional witchcraft.

Megelan is ranked 90,932^nd in the world and 6^th in Tyran for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 3,663.79 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
