“Long Live Minata!”

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

The Tropical Dreamland of Minata is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by NCC Johne and SCC Windsor with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 9.768 billion Minatans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Athanus. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Minatan economy, worth a remarkable 1,301 trillion Mikans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 133,288 Mikans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, NCC Johne and SCC Windsor's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, and the fire brigade often deal with cases of burnt toast. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minata's national animal is the Lobster, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Lobsterlatry.

Minata is ranked 15,340^th in the world and 160^th in 10000 Islands for Most Cultured, scoring 96 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
