The Winter and Edge Spirit of Maid-in-the-Mirror is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, avowedly heterosexual populace, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.849 billion Maid-in-the-Mirrorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 36.2%.
The large but inefficient Maid-in-the-Mirrorian economy, worth 166 trillion pesos a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,358 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.
The arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, the government insists that a ghost voted ten million times in the last election, and the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maid-in-the-Mirror's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Maid-in-the-Mirror is ranked 101,818th in the world and 19th in The Mansus for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 220.14 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
