The Community of Mislia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed population of 2.698 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, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mislia City. The average income tax rate is 70%, and even higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Pizza Delivery industry.

Strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, the streets are ravaged by murder and violence to prove political points, midnight pizza breaks are common among the work-from-home population, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Mislia's national animal is the Blue Duck, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the mcit.

Mislia is ranked 3,031st in Lazarus and 123,902nd in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with -5 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
