The Republic of Miro 21 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ritual sacrifices, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.458 billion Miro 21ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 52.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Miro 21ian economy, worth 198 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,689 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, schoolchildren are divided over Leader's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, and in court almost every witness is a hostile witness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Miro 21's national animal is the Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Miro 21 is ranked 109,172nd in the world and 5,500th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.79 law-abiding acts per hour.
