“We do what we must, because we can.”

The Federirepublich of Myroria is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Hupprecht Riltrith with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.944 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Healthcare, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fellowmoor-Pelagis. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the government is avowedly atheist, and same-sex marriages are increasingly common. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Myroria's national animal is the ostrich, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Federirepublich marche.

Myroria is ranked 44th in the region and 55,621st in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens.
