The State of Meilleure is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 44.061 billion Meilleureans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The powerhouse Meilleurean economy, worth a remarkable 1,892 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Soda Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 42,946 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 131,192 per year while the poor average 10,896, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

A major religion has been named as Meilleure's national religion, Meilleure has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, the Governor has just been declared ruler of Meilleure in an international press conference, and the word 'foreigner' is considered a highly vulgar expletive. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Meilleure's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Meilleure is ranked 226,855^th in the world and 2^nd in Rhea for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,787.47 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
