Location: The New Commonwealth Society

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The New Holy Federation of Minutos is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Lawrence Voss with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.529 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minution. The average income tax rate is 63%. A robust private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports industries.

Commuter vessels have trouble staying afloat due to increased passengers, the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour, and there is now a private sector based on doomsday devices (Minutos has found 1 easter egg). Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minutos's national animal is the Scorpo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Timeonism, and its currency is the Seliphor.

Minutos is ranked 15th in The New Commonwealth Society and 63,285th in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.287 Stalins.
