The Federal Republic of Mk Steele is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by President Matthew Hawke with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 3.784 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CTU District. The average income tax rate is 98%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Mk Steele, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and punitive tariffs protect local industry. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mk Steele's national animal is the NightFury, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the FRD.

Mk Steele is ranked 4,455th in The North Pacific and 98,718th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -34 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
