The State of Millar is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 18.824 billion Millarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Millarian economy, worth 259 trillion betales a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 13,759 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, gambling is outlawed, surveillance cameras are banned, and Millar has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Millar's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Millar is ranked 289,165^th in the world and 2^nd in Great Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.74 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
