The Principality of Mining- is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning echo population. The cynical population of 1.946 billion Mining-ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 25.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Mining-ian economy, worth 64.7 trillion echoes a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,232 echoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mining-'s national animal is the echo.
Mining- is ranked 167,227th in the world and 804th in TPFKAQ for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 58.31 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
