The Republic of Miro 69 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, infamous sell-swords, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.377 billion Miro 69ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 56.6%.
The thriving Miro 69ian economy, worth 295 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, 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 87,416 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.
Deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent, dancing with your first cousin is a misdemeanor, politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, and diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Miro 69's national animal is the Bird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.
Miro 69 is ranked 217,820th in the world and 10,165th in Osiris for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -2 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
