The Allied States of MiloNixie is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its burgeoning Joanna population. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 439 million enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government is mainly concerned with Education, although Law & Order and the Environment are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catnip City. The average income tax rate is 35%, but much higher for the wealthy. A tiny private sector is dominated by the Cheese Exports industry.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages, and all footpaths have tollbooths. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MiloNixie's national animal is the Joanna, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Meow.

MiloNixie is ranked 691st in Balder and 25,850th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -10 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
