The Empire of Millwellbee Inc is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Edwin III with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, vat-grown people, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.374 billion Millwellbee Incians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Millwellbee Incian economy, worth a remarkable 1,374 trillion coupons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 314,144 coupons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,332,954 per year while the poor average 47,755, a ratio of 27.9 to 1.

Corporations make thousands by intentionally losing billions, colonies are told they'll get their sovereignty back when they finish supper, the house always wins, and governments opposing Millwellbee Inc are beset by rebels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Millwellbee Inc's national animal is the shopping cart, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Millwellbee Inc is ranked 248,657^th in the world and 5^th in Aspen for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 28.2 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
