The Woodhouse Sanctum of Mysa is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.997 billion Mysans 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.4%.

The strong Mysan economy, worth 217 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,526 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Top universities admit students based on how often they correct interviewers, walls don't have ears, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and the Department of Health is snowed under by requests for crisper ciabatta and tenderer tagliatelle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mysa's national animal is the Death's-head hawkmoth, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mysa is ranked 84,404^th in the world and 1^st in Boracay for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,765.42 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
