The Jingoistic States of The Mirror Universe is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.767 billion Mirror Universeans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terra Prime. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Mirror Universean economy, worth 58.5 trillion Dilithium Crystals a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,125 Dilithium Crystals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

People think garlic bread counts as one of their "five a day", children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, jail house rock has been replaced with jail house golden oldies, and sexuality-questioning teenagers are placed in locked rooms with dirty magazines and lewd posters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Mirror Universe's national animal is the Gormagander, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Mirror Universe is ranked 111,498^th in the world and 2^nd in The United Federation of Planets for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,920.03 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
