The Democratic People's Union of South Miruva is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chief Executive Moski Emers with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, state-planned economy, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 9.017 billion South Miruvians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lutternas. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient South Miruvian economy, worth a remarkable 1,389 trillion Miruvian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 154,146 Miruvian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, the derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun, and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Lutternas Times is sold out. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Miruva's national animal is the Beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Posadism-Hoxhaism.

South Miruva is ranked 1,582^nd in the world and 22^nd in The Leftist Assembly for Least Corrupt Governments, with 96.6 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
