The Penumbral Elysium of Mhaewrith is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Archon Astraea Lux with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.871 billion Mhaewrithians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Evylar. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mhaewrithian economy, worth 431 trillion arcs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 111,516 arcs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, diaper-wrapped shawarma is a fan-favorite, Thomas the Spank Engine is the most popular and controversial children's show in the nation, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime is totally unknown. Mhaewrith's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mhaewrith is ranked 12,738^th in the world and 224^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Developed, scoring 89.2 on the Human Development Index.
