The Republic of Minilands is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.547 billion Minilandsians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Minilandsian economy, worth 947 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 170,812 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, and truck drivers turn their engines off and coast whenever they're going downhill. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minilands's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Minilands is ranked 3,851^st in the world and 204^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 54.08 average smiles per day.
