The Scholar's City of Mizrham is a huge, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lord Azaría Espinoza with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 997 million Mizrhamites hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Inner Mizrham. The average income tax rate is 20.7%.

The all-consuming Mizrhamite economy, worth 108 trillion Silver Aurics a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 109,042 Silver Aurics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

There's more vermin than ever on the metro, dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, and Lord Azaría Espinoza has just been declared ruler of Mizrham in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Mizrham's national animal is the Genet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mizrham is ranked 237,470^th in the world and 1,126^th in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 55.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
