The Republic of M83 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its parental licensing program, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 1.572 billion M83ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 51.3%.

The powerhouse M83ian economy, worth 156 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 99,444 bitcoins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 392,111 per year while the poor average 17,096, a ratio of 22.9 to 1.

Pet owners are granted clemency from being ritually sacrificed, a large concrete wall is being built around the country's borders, gamblers often find their stakes burnt, and the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. M83's national animal is the tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

M83 is ranked 61,478^th in the world and 234^th in Izern for Most Developed, scoring 73.83 on the Human Development Index.
