The Republic of 4Minute is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and frequent executions. The hard-working population of 4.398 billion 4Minuteans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 21.2%.

The strong 4Minutean economy, worth 199 trillion kpops a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is 45,378 kpops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, military spending recently hit a new high, and captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 4Minute's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

4Minute is ranked 202,575^th in the world and 1^st in 4Minute for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 21.17 Effective Tax Rate.
