The Rational Republic of Mirchusko is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Temis Aenea with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.526 billion Mirchuskoites 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, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sapphrian City. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Mirchuskoan economy, worth a remarkable 4,168 trillion eigencredits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 237,837 eigencredits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The ongoing space elevator construction project has elevated the national debt to all new levels, there's a lot of hot air coming from the Capitol Building, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, and Mirchusko is notorious for its citizens' infidelity. Crime is totally unknown. Mirchusko's national animal is the heptapus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mirchusko is ranked 3,932^nd in the world and 83^rd in the West Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 237,837.62 Standard Monetary Units.
