The Incorporated States of New Michag is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Jimbo with an iron fist, and renowned for its digital currency, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.532 billion Michiganders 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Contigo. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Michigandian economy, worth 429 trillion Soup Cans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 121,552 Soup Cans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is funding experimental battery technology while the power grid continues to crumble, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, the New Michigandian Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely, and money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Michag's national animal is the M1 Abrams, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Michag is ranked 53,231^st in the world and 2,845^th in The North Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 58.76 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
