The Kingdom of Michellae is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Maréchal Charles Chepalier with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, parental licensing program, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.298 billion Michellaens 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Versailles. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Michellaen economy, worth a remarkable 2,898 trillion Livres a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 136,096 Livres, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 807,169 per year while the poor average 10,562, a ratio of 76.4 to 1.

Anyone who so much as looks at Royalty without the proper amount of deference is jailed, edgy teens know that illegal discos are where the cool cats hang, most people attending churches are maintenance workers, and aristocratic family trees are beginning to resemble tumbleweeds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Michellae's national animal is the Coq Gaulois, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Michellae is ranked 303,634th in the world and 5th in CISB Reforged for Most Accessible, scoring 49.04 on the Keller-Reeve Index.
