Minateras is a WA Member

The Shining Kingdom of Minateras is a massive, devout nation, notable for its devotion to social welfare. Its compassionate, cynical population of 2.812 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, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. The average income tax rate is 100%. A robust private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

All writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, welfare funding has recently gone through the roof, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minateras's national animal is the Ten legged Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Soar.

Minateras is ranked 2nd in the region and 62,199th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
