The People's Republic of Micronus is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 4.231 billion Micronusians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 21.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Micronusian economy, worth 183 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,430 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

A fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, and former school buses now regularly shuttle kids to the nearest shopping centers to work. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Micronus's national animal is the Kitsune.

Micronus is ranked 183,348^th in the world and 5^th in Nocturne for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
