The Galactic Scientocracy of Mitropola is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Great Mitar The IV with an even hand, and notable for its vat-grown people, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 2.441 billion Mitropolans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Golden Hills. The average income tax rate is 55.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Mitropolan economy, worth 362 trillion Bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 148,516 Bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

In musicals everybody's a little bit racist, citizens living in underground cities have developed a healthy green glow, the government is encouraging violence on television, and children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mitropola's national animal is the Polar Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Supreme Christianity.

Mitropola is ranked 83,400^th in the world and 2,898^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,706.04 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
