The Empire of Micatran is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 1.055 billion Micatranians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 65.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Micatranian economy, worth 39.2 trillion Imperial Decrees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 37,197 Imperial Decrees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, nudity is frowned upon, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Micatran's national animal is the Imperial Raptor, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Micatran is ranked 202,922^nd in the world and 71^st in Aeternas for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 802.05 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
