The Community of ML Library is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 4.281 billion ML Librarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant ML Libraryian economy, worth 43.3 trillion tickets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 10,111 tickets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ML Library's national animal is the book, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ML Library is ranked 61,340^th in the world and 2,042^nd in Balder for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 75.14 Workforce Participation Rate.
