The Colony of Mickeystan is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.465 billion Mickeystanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alia Protévousa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.2%.
The thriving Mickeystanian economy, worth 337 trillion JEKS a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 75,647 JEKS, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.
Mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, diaper sales are up, edutainment video games are taking Mickeystan's students to the next level, and bargain-hunting is considered unpatriotic. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mickeystan's national animal is the Dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Mickeystan is ranked 144,942nd in the world and 6th in The Imperial Assembly for Most Stationary, with 180.59101636612 days.
