The Rogue Nation of Premint is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8 million Premintians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The strong Premintian economy, worth 476 billion Pears a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 59,531 Pears, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 383,686 per year while the poor average 3,731, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and psychological disorders are a taboo subject. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Premint's national animal is the Giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Premint is ranked 305,954th in the world and 669th in Communitas for Safest, scoring 13.21 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
