The Community of Mindemoya is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles. Its compassionate, cynical population of 13.351 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Social Welfare, although Education and the Environment are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 65%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, gambling is outlawed, and the government is avowedly atheist. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown. Mindemoya's national animal is the grand ours noir, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the cinq et toonie.

Mindemoya is ranked 1st in Indonesia and 1,981st in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 5.112 Stalins.
