The Republic of Port Miedazawa is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 387 million Port Miedazawans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37.9%.

The strong Port Miedazawan economy, worth 25.8 trillion Toastarian Bolivars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 66,569 Toastarian Bolivars, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough', and insanely good theatre productions face government censorship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Port Miedazawa's national animal is the Slugcat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Port Miedazawa is ranked 116,066^th in the world and 3^rd in The Toastic Assembly for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,289.08 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
