The Paradise of Mylo Xyloto is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.731 billion Mylo Xylotoans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Mylo Xylotoan economy, worth 786 trillion rubles a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,889 rubles, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Almost all products in Mylo Xyloto are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws, people often feel unbalanced by their daily commute, citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mylo Xyloto's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mylo Xyloto is ranked 38,187^th in the world and 210^th in Stereo Hearts for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
