The Socialist Federation of Misthas is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 11.439 billion Mistasis are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rasvalin. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Misthasian economy, worth a remarkable 3,747 trillion Einteils a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 327,634 Einteils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, and male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Misthas's national animal is the Ikha, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is state atheism.

Misthas is ranked 688th in the world and 21st in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 182.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
