The Grand Duchy of Minde is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Saguadnim with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 17.618 billion Mindeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minde City. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Mindean economy, worth a remarkable 3,147 trillion Daugas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 178,658 Daugas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, defense lawyers often argue there's no proof murder victims weren't vampires, the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minde's national animal is the Stork, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Storkism.

Minde is ranked 6,305^th in the world and 8^th in The Amaranthine Isles for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 7,941.74 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
