The People's Republic of Mistaign Hanium is a large, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, cynical population of 100 million Mistaign Haniumians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.7%.

The very strong Mistaign Haniumian economy, worth 6.10 trillion Republicans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 61,015 Republicans, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 198,925 per year while the poor average 14,085, a ratio of 14.1 to 1.

The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness, and the government is slowly introducing social welfare programs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mistaign Hanium's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mistaign Hanium is ranked 160,899^th in the world and 334^th in Communitas for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 466.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
