The Republic of Minilands is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.613 billion Minilandsians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Minilandsian economy, worth 961 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 171,261 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus, biotech companies are fined if their jumbled genetic sequences look too familiar, and internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Minilandsian weed picker are way up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minilands's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Minilands is ranked 8,422^nd in the world and 339^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 12,086.58 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
