The Queen's State of Mistique is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.936 billion Mistiqueans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The very strong Mistiquean economy, worth 648 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 27,080 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 184,116 per year while the poor average 1,455, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Mistique's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mistique is ranked 288,446^th in the world and 8^th in Muscat for Lowest Crime Rates, with 34.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
