The Federation of Project Mimas is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 12 million Project Mimasians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 20.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Project Mimasian economy, worth 526 billion Rocks 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 Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Uranium Mining, 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 43,872 Rocks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Project Mimas's national animal is the Asteroid.

Project Mimas is ranked 108,623^rd in the world and 1^st in Project Saturn for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,414.08 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
