The People's Republic of Mikhareti is a large, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 143 million Mikharetians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 54.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Mikharetian economy, worth 3.82 trillion Dins a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,693 Dins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Libraries are replacing history books and classic novels with technical manuals and trades directories to match the nation's changing demands, the "give and take" of international diplomacy often happens at gunpoint, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, and legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mikhareti's national animal is the Marqi leopard.

Mikhareti is ranked 289,333^rd in the world and 1,077^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.19 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
