The Desert People of Mirahge

“It's not enough that I succeed; Others should fail”

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

The Desert People of Mirahge is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by General Chekman with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 31.589 billion Mirahgeans 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 relatively small government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Falorn. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mirahgean economy, worth a remarkable 7,489 trillion Memes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 237,097 Memes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, General Chekman's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, gossip magazines have pictures of General Chekman sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mirahge's national animal is the Salamander, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Grilled Cheese.

Mirahge is ranked 5,571^st in the world and 20^th in Canada for Highest Poor Incomes, with 140,502.4 Standard Monetary Units.
