The Republic of Miro 61 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 3.432 billion Miro 61ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 62.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Miro 61ian economy, worth 282 trillion Euros 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 82,179 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
In court almost every witness is a hostile witness, Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, fashion magazine covers finally display realistic body images following photo-manipulation becoming illegal, and biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Miro 61's national animal is the Bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Miro 61 is ranked 128,177th in the world and 6,018th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,944.07 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
