The Grand Holy Imperial Empire of General Mike is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Imperial Über Kaisführer Michael I with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 46.063 billion Michaels 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 Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mikegrad. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Michaean economy, worth an astonishing 15,320 trillion hyperinflated dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 332,602 hyperinflated dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", a degree of self-hatred is vital for a future in politics, Imperial Über Kaisführer Michael I's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, and all the playground's a stage for Michaean schoolchildren. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. General Mike's national animal is the Vietcong, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is some sort of cult.

General Mike is ranked 4,315^th in the world and 198^th in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 18,960.39 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
