The Desert People of Mirahge is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by General Chekman with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 35.305 billion Mirahgeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Falorn. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Mirahgean economy, worth a remarkable 9,533 trillion Memes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 270,042 Memes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, and virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mirahge's national animal is the Salamander, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Grilled Cheese.

Mirahge is ranked 292,057^th in the world and 144^th in Canada for Most Primitive, scoring -853.18 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
