The Peace and Love Child of MikesHope is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mike with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 42.659 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, although Education, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while Environment and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Utopia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.0%.

The frighteningly efficient MikesHopean economy, worth an astonishing 11,528 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 rampant. Average income is an amazing 270,242 Kisses, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,585,893 per year while the poor average 21,511, a ratio of 73.7 to 1.

Parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills, one can wake up in MikesHope and have breakfast in Bigtopia, trains and passengers alike are often late, and the government is spending millions on alternative clean-burning fuels. 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 1,395th in the world and 11th in NationStates for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 218,896.02 Standard Monetary Units.
