The Armed Republic of Minas Ithil is a massive, genial nation, notable for its frequent executions, rampant corporate plagiarism, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.007 billion Minas Ithilians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 31.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Minas Ithilian economy, worth 103 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 102,503 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The comic book series 'Leader and the Villainous Corporate Cronies' is a best-seller, the government has stated an intention to min-max its stats for 'teh pwnage', mall countdown clocks warn that there are only 364 more shopping days until Maxxmas, and the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Minas Ithil City. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Minas Ithil's national animal is the dolphin.

Minas Ithil is ranked 283,808^th in the world and 6,185^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.42 flags saluted per person per day.
