The Free Land of Mixton is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by almohannad abdalla with an iron fist, and notable for its avant-garde cinema, avowedly heterosexual populace, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.087 billion Mixtonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of mixton city. The average income tax rate is 84.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mixtonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,146 trillion US dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 141,730 US dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists are not permitted to ask questions, the inner circle of almohannad abdalla is looking more and more like a pink triangle, civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, and the politician's labor union forces stage names upon candidates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mixton's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Mixton is ranked 29,367^th in the world and 630^th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 20.14 average smiles per day.
