The Colony of Gay Miku is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 512 million Gay Mikuans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 32.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Gay Mikuan economy, worth 23.5 trillion pipis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 45,915 pipis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers, Gay Mikuan faces have never been brighter, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, and parents are relieved they no longer need to help with their kids' algebra homework. Crime is totally unknown. Gay Miku's national animal is the sinister floating skull, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Gay Miku is ranked 89,225^th in the world and 170^th in Starlight for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,075.59 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
