The Community of East Minoa is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 13.484 billion East Minoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Izmir. The average income tax rate is 8.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong East Minoan economy, worth 811 trillion Minoan tala a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 60,195 Minoan tala, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The seventh son of a seventh son is fated to be a millionaire, appendix transplant figures have recently doubled, tourists often cite 'hiding money in an off-shore banking account' as their main reason to visit the nation, and almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices. Crime is relatively low. East Minoa's national animal is the little owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

East Minoa is ranked 104,496^th in the world and 5^th in Ukraine for Most Corrupt Governments, with 11.38 kickbacks per hour.
