The Matriarchy of Mine is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 9.72 billion Mineans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dimango. The average income tax rate is 19.8%.

The strong Minean economy, worth 482 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 49,688 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

The Department of Health is snowed under by requests for crisper ciabatta and tenderer tagliatelle, Leader's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, farmers have taken to hunting billionaires who encroach on their land, and Mine has designated Dimango as its capital city. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mine's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mine is ranked 198,448^th in the world and 2^nd in Mother Knows Best for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 305.34 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
