The Empire of Mephras is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its devotion to social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.099 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing, Gambling, and Soda Sales industries.
Citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked, the state pays for care of easily preventable illnesses, voting is voluntary, and private business has started paving paradises and putting up parking lots. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Mephras's national animal is the peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the phran.
