The United Socialist States of Minnesotaa is a huge, genial nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 203 million Minnesotans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Minnesotan economy, worth 5.95 trillion Commies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 29,314 Commies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, the Minnesotan Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, not even good behaviour will get transgender inmates any special perks, and Minnesotan husbands are dead good at fathering kids. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minnesotaa's national animal is the Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Minnesotaa is ranked 14,945^th in the world and 108^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 7,267.08 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
