The Dictatorship of Myness is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by The Dominus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical population of 4.286 billion Mynessians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mypolis. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Mynessic economy, worth 315 trillion mynors a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Trout Farming industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,520 mynors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse, carrots are orange, apples are red and food waste is increasing, busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, and tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course.

Myness is ranked 25,161^st in the world and 558^th in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 30.72 flags saluted per person per day.
