The Republic of MK-1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-working, devout population of 16.49 billion MK-1ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Welfare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Social Policy is ignored. The average income tax rate is 37.0%.

The strong MK-1ian economy, worth 899 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,554 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Sports club owners are having a moneyball, anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away, whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, and arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MK-1's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

MK-1 is ranked 73,493^rd in the world and 1^st in Island of Hawaii for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
