The Democratic States of Minas de Ferro is a large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 94 million Minas de Ferroans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 46.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Minas de Ferroan economy, worth 2.56 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Gambling. Average income is 27,200 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minas de Ferro's national animal is the cow.

Minas de Ferro is ranked 53,620^th in the world and 90^th in Sophia for Safest, scoring 101.68 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
