The Colony of Mythel is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Maxwell with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 18.806 billion Mythelians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eden. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Mythelian economy, worth a remarkable 2,132 trillion souls a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 113,382 souls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Recognizing the Mythelian flag qualifies you for citizenship, flipping a coin to make a decision leads to a referral to Gambling Addiction Services, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, and prisons in Mythel are the summer homes of murderers. Crime is totally unknown. Mythel's national animal is the daemon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mythel is ranked 9,804^th in the world and 9^th in Lands End for Smartest Citizens, with 95.89 quips per hour.
