The Republic of MCSHS is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 248 million MCSHSians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with International Aid and Spirituality not funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The strong MCSHSian economy, worth 15.9 trillion deniers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 64,269 deniers, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 373,229 per year while the poor average 5,243, a ratio of 71.2 to 1.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, organ donation is compulsory, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. MCSHS's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

MCSHS is ranked 250,904^th in the world and 1^st in USAL for Longest Average Lifespans, with 63.94 years.
