The Jingoistic States of Miona is a very large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed population of 393 million Mionans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 32.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Mionan economy, worth 17.9 trillion Troy ounces a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 45,469 Troy ounces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Parents ask their ten-year-olds for help with their government-mandated book reports, aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, a referendum must be held in order for any new law to be passed, and lion-reed-vulture-hand-reed-mouth is how Leader is spelt now. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Miona's national animal is the polar bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Miona is ranked 210,271^st in the world and 74^th in Flanelistan for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
