The Republic of Mingde is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by CaryOtokonokOwO with a fair hand, and notable for its public floggings, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 881 million 人民 enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 桃園市. The average income tax rate is 86.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming 人民 economy, worth 81.3 trillion 新台幣s 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Retail. Average income is 92,234 新台幣s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens complain about a burning sensation after bathing, nude art is becoming wildly popular, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, and people make a career out of medical voyeurism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mingde's national animal is the Nekomimi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mingde is ranked 242,666^th in the world and 247^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -3.16 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
