The Republic of Miklania is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its public floggings, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 8.033 billion Miklanians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Michaels. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Miklanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,365 trillion Shillings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 169,952 Shillings, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, and up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Miklania's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Miklania is ranked 25,583^rd in the world and 41^st in The Western Isles for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 76.07 Workforce Participation Rate.
