The People's Republic of Myhomecountry is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by no one with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 981 million Myhomecountryians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Administration, Education, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Capital. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Myhomecountryian economy, worth 96.6 trillion Papers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 98,442 Papers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voters must frequently select what they view as the lesser of two evils on the ballot, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, and national chefs believe that you can eat anything so long as you deep fry it first. Crime is totally unknown. Myhomecountry's national animal is the Tick, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Myhomecountry is ranked 222,300^th in the world and 7,477^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.43 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
