The Empire of Migako is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Hikari with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.742 billion Migakonese are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Senshihon. The average income tax rate is 65.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Migakonese economy, worth 247 trillion Teis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,026 Teis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, seafood restaurants regularly receive complaints that the food is still moving, nefarious Blackacrean surveillance has been replaced with patriotic Migakonese surveillance, and government election advice reads like a restaurant menu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Migako's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Teishuto.

Migako is ranked 70,424^th in the world and 3^rd in Lands of the Great Horse for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 48,999.3 Standard Monetary Units.
