The Kingdom of Mifan

“Fear The Howls”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Kingdom of Mifan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Hades with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.808 billion Mifanians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Den. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Mifanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,912 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 208,010 Credits, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

It is illegal to carry an umbrella when the official weather forecast predicts a sunny day, motivational posters send motorists positive vibes in high-risk areas, stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings, and warfare increasingly resembles a video game. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mifan's national animal is the Direwolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wolfism.

Mifan is ranked 7,137^th in the world and 440^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 108.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
