The Kingdom of Mizialand is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Sophie Vincent with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 4.417 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 is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Education and Defence are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heleventia. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Book Publishing.

Notable individuals are granted land and titles, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and the government pours millions of Euros into rehabilitation programs annually. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mizialand's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Euro.

Mizialand is ranked 49th in Europe and 5,358th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 100 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
