The Absentee Dictatorship of MikGonnia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Saitama with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, public floggings, and otherworldly petting zoo. The democratic population of 14.23 billion MikGonnians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Dome. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient MikGonnian economy, worth a remarkable 1,784 trillion Donkey Shillings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,376 Donkey Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, a new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water, and group hugs break out during floor votes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MikGonnia's national animal is the Flying Potato, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

MikGonnia is ranked 5,578th in the world and 137th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 158 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
