The Dictatorship of Myness is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 359 million Mynessians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mypolis. The average income tax rate is 77.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Mynessic economy, worth 24.9 trillion mynors a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 69,344 mynors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems, foreign students are expected to have a Kegmeister Grade Average of 36-24-36 to qualify for university, foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in Myness, and dreams of replicator technology have been dashed following a ban on 3D printers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Myness's national animal is the calamander, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Myness is ranked 189,606^th in the world and 7,070^th in the South Pacific for Most Avoided, scoring 0.64 on the Kardashian Reflex Score.
