The Sultanate of Mininai I is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5.328 billion Mininaivetrians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 42.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but sluggish Mininaivetrian economy, worth 113 trillion Equiliants 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, Book Publishing, and Cheese 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 21,275 Equiliants, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, and party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend. Crime is totally unknown. Mininai I's national animal is the mongoose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Mininai I is ranked 273,202nd in the world and 114th in Equilism for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.06 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
