The Republic of Milnesia is a mid-sized, orderly nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical population of 50 million Milnesians 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 enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Milnesian economy, worth 336 billion florins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 6,730 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Milnesia's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Milnesia is ranked 283,513^th in the world and 1,995^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 314.96 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
