The Most Catholic Diarchy of Miklania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, devout population of 19.446 billion Miklanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Michaels. The average income tax rate is 60.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Miklanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,985 trillion Shillings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,516 Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, and Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes. Crime is totally unknown. Miklania's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Miklania is ranked 19,625^th in the world and 44^th in The Western Isles for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 282.76 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
