The State of Mitchner is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.473 billion Mitchnerians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Mitchnerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,209 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 39,682 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 269,794 per year while the poor average 2,132, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, the streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, and Mitchner has designated Westminster as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Mitchner's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mitchner is ranked 6,057^th in the world and 1^st in Upper Canada for Largest Populations, with 30.5 billion capita.
