The Commonwealth of Myran is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Commonwealth Director-President with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.121 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, socially-minded, 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 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Myran economy, worth 233 trillion Myroes a year, is 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 110,046 Myroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Criminals identify as innocent, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, and Myran's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. 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 16,463^rd in the world and 72^nd in the Plains of Perdition for Smartest Citizens, with 74.66 quips per hour.
