The Kewl Artist of Mysty is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-working, democratic population of 938 million Mystyians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 22.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Mystyian economy, worth 66.1 trillion silver coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 70,416 silver coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The police strictly enforce off-limit zones for tourists, "Darwin's Disease" is a growing cause of death, tree farms across the nation are overrun by clipboard-wielding biologists, and nighttime sightings of raccoons sporting Circle-A patches and bandanna masks are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Mysty's national animal is the Eevee, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mysty is ranked 295,407^th in the world and 4,356^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -7.68 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
