The Benevolent Dictatorship of Migs is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Governor-General Mitheel with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 4 billion Migsians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Migs City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Migsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,066 trillion Miges a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 266,609 Miges, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 856,136 per year while the poor average 62,931, a ratio of 13.6 to 1.

Governor-General Mitheel claims to be the epitome of family values, golden statues of Cats line the memorial avenues of the Funerary District, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, and posters on 'Migsian Values' advise against being proud of Migs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Migs's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Migs is ranked 64,895^th in the world and 260^th in the Outback for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 2,714.86 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
