“Together we're invincible”

The Colony of Mindossanya is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by Governor Yasin Pasternack with an even hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, parental licensing program, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 16.983 billion Mindossanyans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government prioritizes Law & Order, although Healthcare, Spirituality, and Industry are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Esayi. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 71.3%.

The Mindossanyan economy, worth a remarkable 1,148 trillion Iskims 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, quite specialized black market in Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. 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 67,650 Iskims, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

In its new More is More campaign the government advertises obese men and women posing coquettishly with baked goods to spare their blushes, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, property values in suburbs have nosedived after the middle class were forced to live next door to ethnic minorities, and residents of ageing concrete tower blocks have vital renovation work stopped by Brutalism enthusiasts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mindossanya's national animal is the mole, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Mindossanya is ranked 123,449^th in the world and 9^th in The Global Elite for Lowest Crime Rates, with 63.36 law-abiding acts per hour.
