The Republic of 1 Mirrormind is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical population of 9.981 billion 1 Mirrormindians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 51.1%.
The powerhouse 1 Mirrormindian economy, worth 628 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,010 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, citizens must have a license to operate a computer, adulthood begins with the creation of an email account, and no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 1 Mirrormind's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
1 Mirrormind is ranked 285,787th in the world and 3,178th in the Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.77 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
