The Republic of Minskiev-1 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Waldolphrus II with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.6 billion Minskievians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyiv. The average income tax rate is 53.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Minskiev-1ian economy, worth 420 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,831 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', and forest fires have dropped dramatically as there are hardly any forests left. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minskiev-1's national animal is the walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Defenderism.

Minskiev-1 is ranked 225,962^nd in the world and 1^st in American School System for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -8.32 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
