The United States of Mitrak is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Nathan Struder with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 12.522 billion Mitrakians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mansterdan. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mitrakian economy, worth a remarkable 1,183 trillion Malders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,493 Malders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Mitrakian politicians, Mansterdan's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, and the state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mitrak's national animal is the Lizzard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mitrak is ranked 255,176^th in the world and 9,675^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 14,835.54 Standard Monetary Units.
