The Republic of Minilands is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.568 billion Minilandsians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Minilandsian economy, worth 952 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 171,142 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All you have to do is pray to get into Minilands, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, and biotech companies are fined if their jumbled genetic sequences look too familiar. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minilands's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Minilands is ranked 19,236^th in the world and 530^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,330.3 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
