The Federated Island Republics of Mikoyansk is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Czar Peter VI with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.801 billion Mikoyanskians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vostokod. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mikoyanskian economy, worth a remarkable 3,130 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 186,321 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

State media insists that Czar Peter VI is the most fashionable leader in New Warsaw Pact, military training in Mikoyansk emphasizes the tactical advantages of stabbing backs, advert breaks are played at lower volumes to make them easier to ignore, and the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mikoyansk's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Mikoyanskian Orthodox.

Mikoyansk is ranked 25,338^th in the world and 18^th in New Warsaw Pact for Lowest Crime Rates, with 85.7 law-abiding acts per hour.
