The Jingoistic States of The Mirror Universe is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.537 billion Mirror Universeans 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terra Prime. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Mirror Universean economy, worth 217 trillion Dilithium Crystals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,279 Dilithium Crystals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Almost half of the child population live rough on the streets, trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, students who do not recite the national anthem each morning have to drop and give their teacher 50, and you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Mirror Universe's national animal is the Gormagander, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Mirror Universe is ranked 173,881^st in the world and 6^th in The United Federation of Planets for Highest Poor Incomes, with 22,434.43 Standard Monetary Units.
