The Democratic States of Mistillania is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The President with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.353 billion Mistillanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Mistillania City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Mistillanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,170 trillion Mistis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 237,459 Mistis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passionate nomination battles are often as intense as general elections, 75% of the words in government-funded "Super Fun Maths Games" are probably inaccurate, treaties are taken to be mere rules of thumb, and class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation. Crime is totally unknown. Mistillania's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnostic-Pantheism.

Mistillania is ranked 243,738^th in the world and 309^th in Spiritus for Most Armed, with 0.11 Weapons Per Person.
