The Federal Republic of Mk Steele is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President Everett Clarkson with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.618 billion Steelites love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Social Policy, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CTU District. The average income tax rate is 94.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Mk Steelean economy, worth a remarkable 2,202 trillion FRDS a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 132,508 FRDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The election for President Everett Clarkson's office's janitor is heating up, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, literally voiceless people are unable to protest when food and water are denied to them, and military training in Mk Steele emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mk Steele's national animal is the Noble Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mk Steele is ranked 10,767^th in the world and 492^nd in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 5,509.38 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
