The Commonwealth of Myran is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Myrus with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.519 billion Myrans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

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 75.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Myran economy, worth 148 trillion Myroes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,551 Myroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, and invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days. 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 Black Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Myran is ranked 304,092^nd in the world and 1,895^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.46 kickbacks per hour.
