The Republic of Miro 5 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 2.557 billion Miro 5ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 38.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Miro 5ian economy, worth 187 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 73,504 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, death row inmates cower in fear at the phrase "one-year anniversary", the government seizes the property of the recently deceased, and elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Miro 5's national animal is the Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Miro 5 is ranked 93,710^th in the world and 4,558^th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 15.34 kickbacks per hour.
