The Queen's State of Melbourne Nagasawa is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its public floggings. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 28.474 billion Melbourne Nagasawans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 11.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Melbourne Nagasawan economy, worth a remarkable 1,048 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 36,829 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Abortions are routinely performed in Melbourne Nagasawa's hospitals, foreigners are treated with great suspicion, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and the military frequently holds bake sales to raise funds. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Melbourne Nagasawa's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Melbourne Nagasawa is ranked 190,592^nd in the world and 7^th in Canberra for Highest Food Quality, scoring 12.56 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
