The Constitutional Monarchy of Miraco is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Jacques Beauchamp with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 23.558 billion Miracois are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mertz. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Miracois economy, worth a remarkable 2,368 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,538 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, and King Jacques Beauchamp's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Miraco's national animal is the Lory, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Miraco is ranked 232,116^th in the world and 33^rd in European Union for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.97 kickbacks per hour.
