The Dominion of Mirpak of Jovilor is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Council of Worlds with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 17.102 billion Mirpakians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ionia. The average income tax rate is 92.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mirpakian economy, worth a remarkable 2,842 trillion Chips a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 166,232 Chips, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", five-year-olds who refuse to line up on command get gold stars, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, and residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jovilor's national animal is the Tribble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Jovilor is ranked 240,439^th in the world and 57^th in The Galactics Union for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -6.48 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
