The Rogue Nation of Miro 9 is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its digital currency, zero percent divorce rate, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.48 billion Miro 9ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Miro 9ian economy, worth 196 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,202 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
New pilots are regularly reminded that they are more expendable than their planes, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Miro 9's national animal is the Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Miro 9 is ranked 71,481st in the world and 4,013th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
