The Rational Republic of Mirchusko is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Temis Aenea with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 20.959 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, socially-minded, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Healthcare, Environment, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sapphrian City. The average income tax rate is 99.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Mirchuskoan economy, worth a remarkable 5,298 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 252,814 eigencredits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, and Temis Aenea's perky ego is the talk of the town. Crime is totally unknown. Mirchusko's national animal is the heptapus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mirchusko is ranked 275,914^th in the world and 9,192^nd in the West Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -38.81 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
