The Federation of Miscellanea is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 265 million miscellaneans 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 Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 57.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The miscellanese economy, worth 12.6 trillion misels a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,576 misels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

In life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, artists are pillars of society, refugees from other nations are flocking to Miscellanea's border, and sleeping on the job is recommended. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Miscellanea's national animal is the lyrebird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Miscellanea is ranked 68,492^nd in the world and 88^th in Karma for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 445.68 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
