The Republic of Minilands is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.684 billion Minilandsians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Minilandsian economy, worth 966 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 170,089 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, and the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minilands's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Minilands is ranked 4,757^th in the world and 226^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 60.67 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
