The Incorporated States of Miro 13 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.502 billion Miro 13ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.7%.
The very strong Miro 13ian economy, worth 296 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,801 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.
Surveillance cameras are banned, the government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, and terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Miro 13's national animal is the Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Miro 13 is ranked 284,388th in the world and 12,759th in Balder for Most Pacifist, with 12.22 cheeks turned per day.
