The Free Land of Mixton is a massive, genial nation, ruled by almohannad abdalla with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ritual sacrifices, and vat-grown people. The compassionate, humorless population of 3.163 billion Mixtonians 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 enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of mixton city. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mixtonian economy, worth 408 trillion US dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,173 US dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

There's a lot of mouth-breathers about these days, the overhead luggage compartment is often full, politicians and casino owners who so much as wander into the same room are arrested on the spot, and tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mixton's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Mixton is ranked 12,857^th in the world and 611^th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,359.57 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
