The Royaume of Michellae is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Henry XII with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, avant-garde cinema, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.92 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 26.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Michellaen economy, worth a remarkable 2,299 trillion Livres a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 135,914 Livres, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 786,561 per year while the poor average 11,179, a ratio of 70.4 to 1.

It isn't only obsequious grandees who produce a lot of manure at state occasions, Michellaens believe manners maketh the leader, the police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, and charity distribution sites are regularly raided by the police. 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 277,688^th in the world and 12^th in CISB Reforged for Most Beautiful Environments, with 6.62 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
