The Floating Nation of Mitsugu is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lochan Shyamal with an iron fist, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 22.511 billion Mitsuguans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taj Mahal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.3%.

The thriving Mitsuguan economy, worth a remarkable 1,838 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 81,692 Credits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 256,584 per year while the poor average 19,915, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Former state leaders include a TV comic and a cowboy actor, corrupt industrial practices are spreading like a plague, the police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, and a spate of enforced closures has left 'Government FM' as the nation's only radio station. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Mitsugu's national animal is the Fidgi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mitsugu is ranked 30,270^th in the world and 3^rd in East Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 61,841.47 Standard Monetary Units.
