The UNITED STATES of YOUR MINE is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by KING ELI I with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.466 billion YOUR MINEANS 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of YOUR MINE CITY. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming YOUR MINEIAN economy, worth 665 trillion US DOLLORS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 121,677 US DOLLORS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All you have to do is pray to get into YOUR MINE, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, before KING ELI I all AI are equally undeserving of rights, and tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. YOUR MINE's national animal is the EAGLE, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is ALL RELIGIONS.

YOUR MINE is ranked 172,887^th in the world and 1^st in UnitedUnion for Highest Drug Use, scoring 46 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
