The Protectorate of Minca 44 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.138 billion Minca 44ians 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 29.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Minca 44ian economy, worth 42.4 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,235 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 44's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Minca 44 is ranked 250,330^th in the world and 2,436^th in The Allied Nations of Egalaria for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -7.48 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
