The Democratic States of Myleneia is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 568 million Myleneians 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 large, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, with Healthcare, Education, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Macross City. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Myleneian economy, worth 18.1 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,944 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, straitjackets are a common religious garb, families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, and rumor has it that Leader has won three lotteries in a row. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Myleneia's national animal is the Guvava, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Myleneia is ranked 13,839^th in the world and 29^th in Ridgefield for Most Pacifist, with 124.25 cheeks turned per day.
