The Kingdom of Miternow is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 181 million Miternowians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 25.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Miternowian economy, worth 14.0 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 77,259 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Middle-aged metal fans quite enjoy being called "rebellious youths" by even older politicians, doctors ask for written consent before making eye contact with patients, anyone can get ahead in life if they want to, and oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Miternow's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Miternow is ranked 51,253^rd in the world and 86^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Patriotic, with 27 flags saluted per person per day.
