The Commonwealth of Millora is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 720 million Millorans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stuart. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Milloran economy, worth 32.7 trillion Mills a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 45,400 Mills, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom, museum visitors often bring lemons and black lights, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Millora's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Millora is ranked 298,857^th in the world and 119^th in Refugia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 23.43 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
