“Power to OUR People!”

The Dark Republic of Mirkana is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its national health service. Its compassionate, cynical population of 10.073 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Social Equality. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations, and most citizens in Mirkana are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mirkana's national animal is the raptor, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the steelpence.

Mirkana is ranked 485th in the region and 4,709th in the world for Most Dedicated Public Healthcare.
