The District of Minowa is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.252 billion Minowans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.

The strong Minowan economy, worth 259 trillion Minoan tala a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 49,438 Minoan tala, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 320,488 per year while the poor average 3,049, a ratio of 105 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and Minowa has designated Minowa City as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Minowa's national animal is the Little Owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Minowa is ranked 114,676^th in the world and 41^st in Japan for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
