The Combined Corporations of Win Mints is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Almighty Dollar with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 8.783 billion Minties live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pepperland. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Mintian economy, worth a remarkable 3,156 trillion cookies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 359,442 cookies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Teddy bear James Dean (aka "the Rebel Without the Claws") helps convince kids that candy cigarettes are cool, t-shirts displaying a photo of Almighty Dollar performing the Full-Monty are selling out, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, and citizens sell their moldy bread as homemade penicillin. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Win Mints's national animal is the cookie, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Consumerism.

Win Mints is ranked 96^th in the world and 2^nd in the West Pacific for Largest Retail Industry, scoring 64,229.68 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
