The Democratic Republic of Mixer is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed population of 3.646 billion Mixerians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Mixerian economy, worth 164 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,123 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Domestic fishermen fly the Mixerian flag out of fear of being blown up, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, a major religion has been named as Mixer's national religion, and Leader has just been declared ruler of Mixer in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mixer's national animal is the kiwi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mixer is ranked 180,290^th in the world and 158^th in Lightyears Away for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,774.71 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
