The Republic of Merni2 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 7.438 billion Merni2ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 17.3%.

The Merni2ian economy, worth 371 trillion Abcs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Soda Sales. Average income is 49,937 Abcs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

There have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons', citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, and Merni2 has designated Merni2 City as its capital city. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Merni2's national animal is the Abc, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Merni2 is ranked 149,885^th in the world and 213^th in The Amaranthine Isles for Safest, scoring 59.98 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
