The Armed Republic of Minas Ithil is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 940 million Minas Ithilians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 28.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Minas Ithilian economy, worth 97.5 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 103,774 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Penurious citizens die from easily remedied ailments because they aren't 'taking enough initiative', immigrant herding has become a national pastime, Minas Ithil Barrier Island residents anxiously await their 'Bridge to Somewhere', and high school band practice is often crashed by technicolor-clad ravers. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Minas Ithil's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Minas Ithil is ranked 47,323^rd in the world and 1,488^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,563.81 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
