The Confederacy of Michigonia is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 8.844 billion Michigonians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The large, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Welfare are also considered important, while Defense and Social Policy aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 43.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Michigonian economy, worth 514 trillion Guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,210 Guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Solid-gold toilets are Michigonian prisons' least expensive furnishings, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, would-be emigrants are told "abandon all hope all ye who would exit here", and most Guilder coins are riddled with bite marks. Crime is totally unknown. Michigonia's national animal is the Brown Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Michigonia is ranked 117,229th in the world and 142nd in The Western Isles for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.48 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
