The Empire of Mer Rahly Batchady is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its burgeoning turtle population. The cynical population of 5.81 billion Mer Rahly Batchadyians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 29.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Mer Rahly Batchadyian economy, worth 210 trillion lire a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,207 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mer Rahly Batchady's national animal is the turtle.

Mer Rahly Batchady is ranked 119,250^th in the world and 11^th in Colonia Apollonis for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,791.76 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
