The Protectorate of Miaphia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Tyr Moniq with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.691 billion Miaphians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tyr. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Miaphian economy, worth 264 trillion moniqs 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 led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 156,269 moniqs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 498,622 per year while the poor average 37,231, a ratio of 13.4 to 1.

Science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, the carbon footprint falls along with the human footprint during war, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and it's best to decline if Tyr Moniq offers to buy a round of drinks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Miaphia's national animal is the Miaphian Goose, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Cult of Tyr.

Miaphia is ranked 18,450^th in the world and 832^nd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,369.05 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
