The Peace and Love Child of MikesHope is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Mike with a fair hand, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, unlimited-speed roads, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 47.838 billion Hope of Mikes live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The relatively small, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education, Administration, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Environment and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Austin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Mike economy, worth an astonishing 15,866 trillion Kisses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 331,676 Kisses, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,350,251 per year while the poor average 54,087, a ratio of 25.0 to 1.
The government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, juries are mostly made up of wealthy busybodies and ex-convicts, most foreigners can't name the leader of MikesHope, and many mayors are barely in office before being kicked out for minor parking violations. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. MikesHope's national animal is the Dream Mirror, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cards.
MikesHope is ranked 1,752nd in the world and 17th in NationStates for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 15,159.87 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
