The Constitutional Monarchy of Minich is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 272 million Minichians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Minichian economy, worth 14.9 trillion pratas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 54,914 pratas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, corrupt industrial practices are spreading like a plague, and Leader's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minich's national animal is the fox.

Minich is ranked 174,359^th in the world and 4,211^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 63.1 billion Standard Monetary Units.
