The Federal Republic of Mk Steele is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Everett Clarkson with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 31.853 billion Steelites enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government is primarily concerned with Education, although Defense, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Federal Steele District. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Mk Steelean economy, worth a remarkable 5,720 trillion FRDS 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, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 179,595 FRDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The parliament building has installed a revolving door, security reviews double as political propaganda, rumor has it that President Everett Clarkson has won three lotteries in a row, and it is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mk Steele's national animal is the Noble Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mk Steele is ranked 7,493^rd in the world and 236^th in The North Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 141,174.85 Standard Monetary Units.
