The Kingdom of Mirandelles is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Maria Isabel Leonor de Távora with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.135 billion Mirandellesians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mirandela. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mirandellesian economy, worth 725 trillion Royal Florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,317 Royal Florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police, and history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mirandelles's national animal is the Stork, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pantheon of The Seven.

Mirandelles is ranked 261,227^th in the world and 2,370^th in Two for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -4.73 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
