The Commonwealth of Mint Chip 38 is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 223 million Mint Chip 38ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The strong Mint Chip 38ian economy, worth 10.6 trillion kronor a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 47,720 kronor, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 275,974 per year while the poor average 3,931, a ratio of 70.2 to 1.

Political candidates who don't release their birth certificates are presumed to have been born in Maxtopia, road signs are getting harder to read under layers of knitted woolen cardigans, burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, and police officers compete for the highest commissions from fines. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Mint Chip 38's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Mint Chip 38 is ranked 174,026th in the world and 4,153rd in Artificial Solar System for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 3.75 missed references per hour.
