The Republic of Myalend is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Blue Cat population. The democratic population of 287 million Myalendians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 10.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Myalendian economy, worth 13.4 trillion Myalendian Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,829 Myalendian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control. Myalend's national animal is the Blue Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Myalend is ranked 105,756^th in the world and 184^th in The Frontier Sea for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 42,099.97 Standard Monetary Units.
