Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The United Socialist Republic of Myrth is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Stavros Djubric with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 22.521 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence, with areas such as the Environment and Social Equality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Myrantos. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

The booming slave trade is now government-funded, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, people are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, and private business has started paving paradises and putting up parking lots. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Myrth's national animal is the black dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Myrthan Soul.

Myrth is ranked 4,910th in the Pacific and 129,319th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 3 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
