The Desert People of Mirahge is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Chekman with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 35.305 billion Mirahgeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Falorn. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Mirahgean economy, worth a remarkable 9,544 trillion Memes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 270,338 Memes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, it's illegal to be caught on tape, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, and most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mirahge's national animal is the Salamander, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Grilled Cheese.

Mirahge is ranked 291,494th in the world and 144th in Canada for Most Primitive, scoring -855.37 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
