The United Socialist States of Min Iri is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 653 million Min Irians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Min Iri City. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Min Irian economy, worth 28.7 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 43,935 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury, all writing must pass a censorship board before being allowed on the shelves, human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, and snitches get riches. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Min Iri's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Min Iri is ranked 173,351^st in the world and 1,110^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 154.51 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
