The Republic of City of Myrtle Beach is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Lindsay Griffin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, strictly enforced bedtime, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.111 billion Myrtle Beachians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Public Transport, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Myrtle Beach. The average income tax rate is 30.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Myrtle Beachian economy, worth 431 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Retail, Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 53,158 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in City of Myrtle Beach, the government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains, and government ministers claim to ride dragons to work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. City of Myrtle Beach's national animal is the Myrtle Beachian dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

City of Myrtle Beach is ranked 61,331^st in the world and 7^th in Arrosia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,321.64 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
