The Democratic States of Empire Of Mint is a large, cultured nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare.

Average income is 62,534 Sepolias, with the richest citizens earning 6.4 times as much as the poorest.

College students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, group hugs break out during floor votes, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and the dartboard at the Mint Cancer Research Charity bears a picture of Leader's face. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Empire Of Mint's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
