The Matriarchy of Miercex is a mammoth, orderly nation, renowned for its burgeoning bovina population. The hard-working, cynical population of 8.581 billion Miercexians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 15.7%.

The Miercexian economy, worth 447 trillion aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 52,129 aurums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, organ donation is compulsory, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime is moderate. Miercex's national animal is the bovina.

Miercex is ranked 57,264^th in the world and 1^st in Kingdom of England for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,627.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
