The Dictatorship of Main Nation Ministry is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, fear of technology, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.615 billion Main Nation Ministryians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Victory Square. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Main Nation Ministryian economy, worth a remarkable 4,214 trillion chips a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Information Technology, Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 288,368 chips, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens can freely debate whether The Leader is a great leader or the greatest leader, mathematicians are hated by children across the country, Main Nation Ministryian watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, and genetic screening weeds out citizens whose legs don't bend easily at the knee. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Main Nation Ministry's national animal is the snakefish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Universalized Occult of the Many Moons.

Main Nation Ministry is ranked 1,869th in the world and 1st in The Ministry of Regions for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 14,946.68 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
