The Protectorate of Minca 42 is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 636 million Minca 42ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 30.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Minca 42ian economy, worth 23.0 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,218 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minca 42's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Minca 42 is ranked 187,933^rd in the world and 128^th in Pasridi Confederacy for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 2.17 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
