The Conciliar Republic of Menerba is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 629 million Menerbans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Menèrba. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Menerban economy, worth 65.2 trillion pesetas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 103,700 pesetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation leads Europe in per capita stalking, royalist is the most offensive slur in the Menerban language, they unpaved paradise and tore up a parking lot (ooh, bop bop bop), and Leader's Twitcher account is typically used to share little owl memes rather than government policy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Menerba's national animal is the little owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Menerba is ranked 208,819^th in the world and 390^th in Europe for Fattest Citizens, with 9.13 Obesity Rate.
