The State of Misner is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 15.747 billion Misnerians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.2%.

The very strong Misnerian economy, worth 977 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Trout Farming, and Gambling. Average income is 62,101 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 179,850 per year while the poor average 16,992, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Misner's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Misner is ranked 252,144^th in the world and 4^th in Miami for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
