The Matriarchy of Mitabo is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, compulsory vegetarianism, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 263 million Mitaboans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 48.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Mitaboan economy, worth 12.2 trillion euros a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,222 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Recognizing the Mitaboan flag qualifies you for citizenship, credit scores fluctuate wildly with every change of government, prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others, and invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mitabo's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mitabo is ranked 12,446^th in the world and 267^th in the Pacific for Most Pacifist, with 126.36 cheeks turned per day.
