The Civilization of M-101 is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Compendicouncillon with an even hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, free-roaming dinosaurs, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 7.78 billion Comps have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Compendium. The average income tax rate is 87.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Comps economy, worth a remarkable 1,586 trillion Chunkbytes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 203,914 Chunkbytes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", blue bloods are welcome in M-101, sick Comps are hair today and gone tomorrow, and the new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. M-101's national animal is the Cloudoconstructoswarm, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

M-101 is ranked 164,347^th in the world and 5^th in The Outer Rim for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 680.07 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
