The Technate of Mikustania is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Uemoto Hoshiro with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.223 billion Mikustanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fuwakowo. The average income tax rate is 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mikustanian economy, worth 214 trillion Kiens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Cheese Exports. Average income is 96,295 Kiens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, Brancaland has gifted over nine thousand putrid moose carcasses to Mikustania as a reminder of their "special relationship", politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, and the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mikustania's national animal is the Whale Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Secularism.

Mikustania is ranked 10,263rd in the world and 286th in The Communist Bloc for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,630.26 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
