The Republic of Honour Guard Northeast Mayfly is a mammoth, cultured nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, national health service, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, humorless, devout population of 5.855 billion Honour Guard Northeast Mayflyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 84.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Honour Guard Northeast Mayflyian economy, worth 639 trillion Letters a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 109,169 Letters, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, a significant number of Wordsmith Dragons are being prosecuted on charges of child abuse, doughnut-makers claim their products are healthy because they are fortified with vitamins, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Honour Guard Northeast Mayfly's national animal is the Wordsmith Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Honour Guard Northeast Mayfly is ranked 13,154^th in the world and 2^nd in Distorted Memories for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,486.65 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
