The Commonwealth of Myran is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Commonwealth Director-President with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.951 billion Myrans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cor Myran. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Myran economy, worth 211 trillion Myroes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,377 Myroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Environmentalists are staging large protests in front of reopened nuclear power plants, online terrorists are automatically assigned adverts for cheap balaclavas, pinkie promises are a matter of life and death, and politicians constantly ring their voters to remind them how good a job they're doing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Myran's national animal is the Snowy Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Humanism.

Myran is ranked 203,497^th in the world and 1,011^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
