The Technate of Mikustania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Uemoto Hoshiro with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.017 billion Mikustanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fuwakowo. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mikustanian economy, worth 97.1 trillion Kiens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 95,445 Kiens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mikustania successfully hosted the The Communist Bloc Olympics, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, and teenagers are told they're not thinking about sex enough. Crime is totally unknown. Mikustania's national animal is the Whale Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Secularism.

Mikustania is ranked 52,053^rd in the world and 765^th in The Communist Bloc for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
