The Republic of M R 4 is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Rogue with an even hand, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, devout population of 4.19 billion M R 4ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Appalachia. The average income tax rate is 51.2%.

The frighteningly efficient M R 4ian economy, worth 444 trillion Silver Penningars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,191 Silver Penningars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, "Mad Max: Returning Again to Barrydrome" is this year's unexpected summer blockbuster, the "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games, and grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. M R 4's national animal is the Mountain Goat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Heathen.

M R 4 is ranked 32,781^st in the world and 1^st in Dutch East India Company for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.14 law-abiding acts per hour.
