The Dictatorship of Miniplenty is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Big Brother with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.426 billion Oceanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Airstrip One. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.4%.

The powerhouse Oceanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,349 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 143,162 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, elected officials who disagree with Big Brother have a lot of accidents, and enemy combatants are presumed guilty until proven innocent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Miniplenty's national animal is the Watcher, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cult of the Party.

Miniplenty is ranked 86,750th in the world and 1st in Nomic for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 45,239.46 Standard Monetary Units.
