The Empire of Mippon is a mid-sized, efficient nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 84 million Mipponianoes are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Education, and Industry also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.2%.

The thriving Mipponian economy, worth 5.59 trillion Iemes a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 66,516 Iemes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 218,938 per year while the poor average 15,139, a ratio of 14.5 to 1.

Programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, the nation's police officers are famously miserable-looking, history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, and immigrants are told to pull themselves up by their worn-out budget bootstraps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mippon's national animal is the Dragão, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mippon is ranked 79,654^th in the world and 3^rd in Sentry for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 2,629.09 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
