The State of Minas Gerais is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Romeu Zema with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service and keen interest in outer space. The hard-working population of 28.614 billion Mineiros are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Belo Horizonte. The average income tax rate is 30.6%.

The strong Mineiro economy, worth a remarkable 1,403 trillion reais a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 49,050 reais, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is seen to favor Catholics, billions of reals are being poured into a space program, more and more students are taking up a career in medicine, and Minas Gerais has designated Belo Horizonte as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minas Gerais's national animal is the llama and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Minas Gerais is ranked 55,107^th in the world and 2^nd in America Latina for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,288.5 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
