Location: The Proletariat Coalition

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Socialist Worker's State of Minyos is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its national health service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 11.079 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minyos. The average income tax rate is 100%. 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.

Schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, all beauty contests have been banned, and citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits. Crime is totally unknown. Minyos's national animal is the mynah bird, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the minya.

Minyos is ranked 15th in The Proletariat Coalition and 100,869th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -52 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
