The Matriarchy of Mniku is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 2.011 billion Mnikuans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aurora. The average income tax rate is 94.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Mnikuan economy, worth 229 trillion silver coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 114,311 silver coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religious leaders order congregants to love any neighbour who is just like themselves, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, and advertisements for jobs in the sciences run in fashion magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mniku's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Somnism.

Mniku is ranked 205,416^th in the world and 72^nd in Conch Kingdom for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
