The Kingdom of Mintoria is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.479 billion Mintorians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rabenshiyuvel. The average income tax rate is 31.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Mintorian economy, worth 210 trillion Guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,638 Guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, executions are marked by quiet dignity and maybe a final round or two of whist, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, and citizens brought into court for parking violations are never heard from again. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mintoria's national animal is the Crimson Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mintoria is ranked 73,278^th in the world and 2,003^rd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,946.78 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
