The Dominion of Les Minquiers is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic population of 21.357 billion Les Minquiersians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 17.1%.

The thriving Les Minquiersian economy, worth 941 trillion Pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 44,072 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending is on the increase, meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy, the death penalty has been reintroduced, and the police force is on a recruitment drive. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Les Minquiers's national animal is the Channel seagulls, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Les Minquiers is ranked 149,320^th in the world and 1^st in The North Atlantic for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 36,536.32 Standard Monetary Units.
