The Starborn of Mint Chip 70 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.06 billion Mint Chip 70ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Social Policy. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The very strong Mint Chip 70ian economy, worth 133 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 43,479 kronor, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 246,090 per year while the poor average 3,763, a ratio of 65.4 to 1.

Tax assessment offices double as polling stations, agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, and former school buses now regularly shuttle kids to the nearest shopping centers to work. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mint Chip 70's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mint Chip 70 is ranked 292,771^st in the world and 15,814^th in Lazarus for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -9.82 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
