The Republic of Millford is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 27.861 billion Millfordians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Public Transport, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bridgeport. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Millfordian economy, worth 406 trillion Mills a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is 14,591 Mills, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Euthanasia is legal, government officials are held to the highest standard of morality, all recreational drugs are legal, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Bridgeport. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Millford's national animal is the Chipmunk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Millford is ranked 31,996^th in the world and 2^nd in Connecticut for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 882.22 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
