The Community of MLS is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Don Garber with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, zero percent divorce rate, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.773 billion MLSians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MLS HQ. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.3%.

The frighteningly efficient MLSian economy, worth 446 trillion Garberbucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 118,398 Garberbucks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 443,330 per year while the poor average 22,121, a ratio of 20.0 to 1.

Citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", major cities run on potato batteries, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, and government popup ads are springing up like weeds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MLS's national animal is the Pitch invading Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Soccer.

MLS is ranked 167,962nd in the world and 7th in Neo Otaku Utopia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 22,121.96 Standard Monetary Units.
