The Fiefdom of Minus cule is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 217 million Minus culeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 9.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Minus culean economy, worth 7.14 trillion rubles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,903 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Minus cule's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Minus cule is ranked 296,471^st in the world and 3^rd in Minuscule for Most Developed, scoring 45.97 on the Human Development Index.
