The State of ML is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.013 billion MLians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong MLian economy, worth 656 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 38,583 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 262,321 per year while the poor average 2,073, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary and ML has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. ML's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

ML is ranked 201,448^th in the world and 287^th in Omega Prime for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring zero on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
