The Federated State of Mairland is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its national health service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 5.172 billion Mairish have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lochdarleck. The average income tax rate is 36.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Mairish economy, worth 206 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,001 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Civil servants spend most their time carrying out risk assessments for paper cuts, putting a mustache on a banknote is considered defacing a national monument, science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, and imitation is the sincerest form of felony. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mairland's national animal is the Cormorant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Mairland is ranked 227,120^th in the world and 136^th in The Western Isles for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
