The Republic of the Union of Myanmar is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.299 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, pro-business government appears to have no policy direction whatsoever. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12%. A large private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling industries.

Crime is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Myanmar's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the kyat.

Myanmar is ranked 2,232nd in the West Pacific and 54,150th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 0 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
