The Federal Republic of Michelland is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Chief of the FCM with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.937 billion Michellandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port-Hypnon. The average income tax rate is 88.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Michellandian economy, worth 475 trillion PQS a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 161,917 PQS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Many in Michelland are born in the purple, both diets and economic output are growing leaner with recent restrictions to free trade, piracy is the nation's most popular pastime, and the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system. Crime is totally unknown. Michelland's national animal is the Castor roux, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Michelland is ranked 243,596^th in the world and 256^th in Refugia for Most Armed, with 0.13 weapons per person.
