The Purification Army of Mialof is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Purification Junta with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, ban on automobiles, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 15.123 billion Mialofians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shandl3ysiyah. The average income tax rate is 30.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Mialofian economy, worth a remarkable 1,917 trillion gold mias a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 126,769 gold mias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The state-controlled media salutes those about to spy, the nation's counterintelligence budget is all up in the air, gun ownership is compulsory, and surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mialof's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Islamo-Christian Morals.

Mialof is ranked 32,581^st in the world and 79^th in Fifth Empire for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 26,544.8 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
