The Principality of Mint Chip 74 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.061 billion Mint Chip 74ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.0%.

The very strong Mint Chip 74ian economy, worth 141 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Gambling. Average income is 46,217 kronor, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 200,404 per year while the poor average 6,766, a ratio of 29.6 to 1.

'Abstinence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder' is a common school motto, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, police regularly arrest families playing Monopoly, and politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mint Chip 74's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mint Chip 74 is ranked 115,372^nd in the world and 6,448^th in Balder for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,888.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
