The Kingdom of Michellae is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Maréchal Charles Chepalier with an iron fist, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, flagrant waste-dumping, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.523 billion Michellaens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Versailles. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Michellaen economy, worth a remarkable 2,934 trillion Livres a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 136,326 Livres, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 808,533 per year while the poor average 10,580, a ratio of 76.4 to 1.

Edgy teens know that illegal discos are where the cool cats hang, most people attending churches are maintenance workers, aristocratic family trees are beginning to resemble tumbleweeds, and cheese lovers have a case of the bleus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Michellae's national animal is the Coq Gaulois, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Michellae is ranked 8,410^th in the world and 1^st in CISB Reforged for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,986.34 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
