The People's Republic of East Miravas is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 849 million Miravians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sergeivsk. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient East Miravian economy, worth 40.4 trillion Provisional Miravian Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 47,619 Provisional Miravian Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, children who express a belief in Santa are labelled 'delusional cultists', the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, and only adults may purchase violent video games. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Miravas's national animal is the White-Tailed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
East Miravas is ranked 254,652nd in the world and 8th in The Cortexist International for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -4.47 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
