The Theocracy of Big ming is a mammoth, cultured nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, flagrant waste-dumping, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 9.431 billion Big mingians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Big mingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,128 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,651 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public transit is widely considered to be perpetrating the patriarchy, it is quite common for bar patrons to discuss Wittgenstein over cordials and games of backgammon, bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, and police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Big ming's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Big ming is ranked 277,881^st in the world and 4^th in The Empire of Daming for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
