The Benevolent Dictatorship of Migs is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Mitheel with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.911 billion Migsians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Migs City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Migsian economy, worth 668 trillion Miges a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 229,618 Miges, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 785,083 per year while the poor average 49,376, a ratio of 15.9 to 1.

Gang members supplement their income by teaching at elementary schools, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, major internet servers have acquired citizenship, and airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Migs's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Migs is ranked 205,437th in the world and 175th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -2.5 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
