The Imperatoris Dominium of Minnotopia is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 527 million Minnotopians 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 government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Defense, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Public Transport aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Minnotia. The average income tax rate is 29.2%.

The all-consuming Minnotopian economy, worth 54.1 trillion minns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 102,626 minns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, write-in candidate 'Leader Sucks' is perennially popular, the government supplies ragtag bands of resistance fighters in exchange for vague promises of future payment, and advertisers scramble to sponsor the broadcast of Leader's most personal functions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Minnotopia's national animal is the falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Minnotopia is ranked 148,749^th in the world and 7^th in United Brothers of Vietnamese Students for Most Corrupt Governments, with 4.28 kickbacks per hour.
