The Incorporated States of Mianata Lagoon is a very large, cultured nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical population of 191 million Mianata Lagoonians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 32.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Mianata Lagoonian economy, worth 14.3 trillion 「R」s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,021 「R」s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, Uranium Mining facilities are being turned into Cheetah habitats, even religious militants can be swayed by the power of #love, and the Ministry of Truthiness now manages the entire media industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mianata Lagoon's national animal is the Cheetah.

Mianata Lagoon is ranked 65,408^th in the world and 989^th in the West Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 50,864.67 Standard Monetary Units.
