The Federal Republic of Mk Steele is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Everett Clarkson with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 5.956 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 Education, Defence, 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 99%. 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.

All-natural foods are becoming a major fad, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. 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 1,026th in The North Pacific and 20,553rd in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 160 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
