The MikesHope Essence of Mikeswill is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mike with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 44.693 billion Mikes 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 medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Austin. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient the Will of Mike economy, worth an astonishing 20,820 trillion Kisses a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 465,857 Kisses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,939,785 per year while the poor average 73,136, a ratio of 26.5 to 1.

Political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, the well-off can quite literally buy extra votes, the Dream Mirror stadiums are open 24/7, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Mikeswill's national animal is the Dream Mirror, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

Mikeswill is ranked 295,172nd in the world and 768th in NationStates for Lowest Crime Rates, with 6.73 law-abiding acts per hour.
