The Civilization of M-101 is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Compendicouncillon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.891 billion Comps are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Compendium. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Comps economy, worth a remarkable 1,647 trillion Chunkbytes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 208,723 Chunkbytes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, dissing one's former country is a prerequisite to apply for Comps citizenship, dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, and bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. M-101's national animal is the Cloudoconstructoswarm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

M-101 is ranked 282,847^th in the world and 7^th in The Outer Rim for Least Corrupt Governments, with 85.9 percentage of bribes refused.
