The Early Childhood Apparitions of Bin and Miao is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Miao with an iron fist, and remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, rampant corporate plagiarism, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 15.211 billion Ghosts are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tien's Landing. The average income tax rate is 59.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Undead economy, worth a remarkable 2,188 trillion Yuan a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,900 Yuan, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Maths Professor Barbie is the most popular toy for boys and girls alike, government officials who do an offal job get smoked, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, and the military struggles with recruitment. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bin and Miao's national animal is the Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Vengeance.

Bin and Miao is ranked 312,121^st in the world and 1^st in The ancient atlantic for Smartest Citizens, with 0.44 quips per hour.
