The Federal Republic of Minama is a massive, devout nation, ruled by President Lauer with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 2.044 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Education and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minama City. The average income tax rate is 45%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Automobile Manufacturing.

Cougar is one of the most popular forenames in Minama, surveillance cameras are banned, city sidewalks are crowded with overweight people, and immigrant herding has become a national pastime. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minama's national animal is the Cougar, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy, and its currency is the Probul.

Minama is ranked 725th in 10000 Islands and 48,266th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 20 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
