The Dictatorship of Minitrue is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 7.249 billion Minitrueans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Minitruean economy, worth a remarkable 1,063 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 146,778 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.2 times as much as the poorest.

Basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child, the urban poor thumbs down the new hitchhiking ban, women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested, and homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minitrue's national animal is the Watcher, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Minitrue is ranked 97,657^th in the world and 10^th in 1984 for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 283.35 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
