The Empire of Miskatonio is a titanic, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning horse population. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 23.867 billion Miskatonioans enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 26.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Miskatonioan economy, worth 601 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 25,187 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Miskatonio's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Miskatonio is ranked 178,987^th in the world and 1^st in Shambolic Archipelago for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 382.53 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
