The Community of Mittenwald is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 14.738 billion Mittenwaldians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 38.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mittenwaldian economy, worth 667 trillion denars a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,261 denars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly, and school football matches are usually five-a-side. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Mittenwald's national animal is the dragon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Mittenwald is ranked 272,456^th in the world and 41^st in Lennart for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.48 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
