The Commonwealth of Myran is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Commonwealth Director-President with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2 billion Myrans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cor Myran. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Myran economy, worth 218 trillion Myroes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,470 Myroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sections of the police receive paramilitary training, residents of newly dried out bays live in fear of leaky dikes, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Snowy Owlball fields, and cultural heritage is measured in Scoville Heat Units. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Myran's national animal is the Snowy Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Humanism.

Myran is ranked 4,352^nd in the world and 27^th in the Plains of Perdition for Safest, scoring 130.93 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
