The Scandinavian-Style Republic of The Mikalan Empire is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.936 billion Mikalans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parlavak. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Mikalan Empirean economy, worth 108 trillion Teuvlas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,840 Teuvlas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Birth rates have hit an all-time low, advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines, homophobia is off the menu, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Mikalan Empire's national animal is the Axolotl, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Mikalan Empire is ranked 110,209^th in the world and 197^th in The Free Nations Region for Most Average, scoring 38.58 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
