The Allied States of Mamihlapinatapai is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its restrictive gun laws. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 6.22 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haina. The average income tax rate is 88%, and even higher for the wealthy. A robust private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, and the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress. Crime is totally unknown. Mamihlapinatapai's national animal is the guanaco, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the tapi.

Mamihlapinatapai is ranked 136th in Europe and 28,589th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 153 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
