The Kingdom of Mintoria is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.546 billion Mintorians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rabenshiyuvel. The average income tax rate is 36.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Mintorian economy, worth 201 trillion Guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 56,923 Guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, executions are marked by quiet dignity and maybe a final round or two of whist, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, and citizens brought into court for parking violations are never heard from again. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mintoria's national animal is the Crimson Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mintoria is ranked 162,027^th in the world and 3,698^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
