The Principality of South Misao is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 229 million South Misaoans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient South Misaoan economy, worth 9.25 trillion Niues a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 40,388 Niues, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Misao's national animal is the Swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

South Misao is ranked 68,748^th in the world and 1^st in Acgnlolha for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.22 law-abiding acts per hour.
