The Antiquity of Mykerinos is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Jamal with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, flagrant waste-dumping, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 33.2 billion Mykerinosians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Defense is also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mykerinos. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Mykerinosian economy, worth a remarkable 6,159 trillion Moustaches a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 185,538 Moustaches, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,695,079 per year while the poor average 2,223, a ratio of 762 to 1.

All fantasy fiction has officially been deemed non-canon, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", and suspicious glow-in-the-dark wasps remain a source of terror and awe. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Mykerinos's national animal is the Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Raism.

Mykerinos is ranked 292,873rd in the world and 11,245th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.61 law-abiding acts per hour.
