The Province of Minaere is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Sosi Patorete with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 26.475 billion Minaereans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Defense, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haru. The average income tax rate is 45.3%.

The all-consuming Minaerean economy, worth a remarkable 2,951 trillion peris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 111,486 peris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

School children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, books are so highly regarded in Minaere that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, and advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Sosi Patorete's most personal functions. Crime is totally unknown. Minaere's national animal is the zwilnik, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Pure Land.

Minaere is ranked 76,903^rd in the world and 13^th in Rireinu for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69 law-abiding acts per hour.
