The Enigma of Mind Twist is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by MrTwist with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 35.518 billion Mind Twistians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Law & Order, although Industry, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MindCity. The average income tax rate is 91.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Mind Twistian economy, worth a remarkable 5,648 trillion brainwaves a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 159,027 brainwaves, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, all citizens are solely referenced by their allocated identity number, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, and this year's hottest seller is plenary indulgence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mind Twist's national animal is the tumor, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Mind Twist is ranked 283,533^rd in the world and 203^rd in Nederland for Most Beautiful Environments, with 4.68 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
