The Peace and Love Child of MikesHope is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Mike with a fair hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, flagrant waste-dumping, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 42.471 billion MikesHopeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Environment and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utopia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.9%.

The frighteningly efficient MikesHopean economy, worth an astonishing 11,320 trillion Kisses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 266,555 Kisses, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,428,892 per year while the poor average 25,992, a ratio of 55.0 to 1.

No animal is considered endangered if there's another that looks kind of like it, Dream Mirrors with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Mike's throne, and scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. MikesHope's national animal is the Dream Mirror, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Agnostic Pantheism.

MikesHope is ranked 3,474th in the world and 21st in NationStates for Most Cultured, scoring 201 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
