The Desert People of Mirahge is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by General Chekman with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 35.25 billion Mirahgeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Falorn. The average income tax rate is 97.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Mirahgean economy, worth a remarkable 9,496 trillion Memes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 269,409 Memes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Protests are legal but strictly supervised, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, and space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 380th in the world and 2nd in Canada for Lowest Crime Rates, with 211.57 law-abiding acts per hour.
