The United Empire of Miltil is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Andrew Nyrzyr XII with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 5.763 billion Miltilians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miltil City. The average income tax rate is 10.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Miltilan economy, worth a remarkable 1,381 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 239,693 Imperial Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

All writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, and if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Miltilan satellites can detect it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Miltil's national animal is the Imperial-Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Divine law of knowledge.

Miltil is ranked 4,863^rd in the world and 238^th in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 132.01 quips per hour.
