The Glittery Cookie Queen of Minineenee is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Neenee with an iron fist, and notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 17.656 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Defence and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dena. The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Book Publishing and Information Technology.

Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minineenee's national animal is the tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Discordianism, and its currency is the whatsit.

Minineenee is ranked 1,970th in Osiris and 92,333rd in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -129 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
