The Matriarchy of Meridia is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its burgeoning quick pink fox population. The hard-working, cynical population of 3.699 billion Meridians 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 relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.9%.

The Meridian economy, worth 162 trillion Juno aurums a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 44,047 Juno aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests and the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Meridia's national animal is the quick pink fox.

Meridia is ranked 155,919^th in the world and 1^st in The Dirty Dozen for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 35,722.73 Standard Monetary Units.
