The Commonwealth of Myran is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Commonwealth Director-President with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.928 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 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Myran economy, worth 205 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 106,429 Myroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, visiting dignitaries make excuses to leave functions early and head to the nearest pub, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. 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 12,492^nd in the world and 49^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,667.98 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
