The Union of Myraxia is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Provisional Transition Government with an iron fist, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.901 billion Myraxians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yntepri. The average income tax rate is 42.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Myraxian economy, worth a remarkable 5,440 trillion Krixes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 an amazing 342,154 Krixes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Maths Professor Barbie is the most popular toy for boys and girls alike, the nation is wading into dangerous waters, woodland critters flock to the safety of unfamiliar humans wearing lab-coats, and Provisional Transition Government is strangely popular with male politicians' wives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Myraxia's national animal is the Chimera, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Cult of Noyen-Rak.

Myraxia is ranked 252,183^rd in the world and 12^th in The Charter for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 27.83 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
