The Great City of Mierhafe is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Stadtkanzler Reineken Völker with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 14.749 billion Mierhafers enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hauptbezirk. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The strong Mierhafish economy, worth 897 trillion Gelders a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 60,883 Gelders, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 379,243 per year while the poor average 4,180, a ratio of 90.7 to 1.

Mierhafe has designated Hauptbezirk as its capital city, the national sporting identity is represented by a talking burger and a singing smartphone, Stadtkanzler Reineken Völker has just been declared ruler of Mierhafe in an international press conference, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mierhafe's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Mierhafe is ranked 303,139th in the world and 27th in Rosaceae Sanguinare for Lowest Crime Rates, with 31.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
