The Federal Republic of Mijus is a mid-sized, cultured nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-working, democratic population of 97 million Mijusians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.3%.

The strong Mijusian economy, worth 5.66 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 58,347 pesos, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians are often seen attending regional history classes at primary schools within their constituencies, banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse, drivers are told they're not staring at mobile phone screens enough, and political spontaneity takes a lot of planning. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Mijus's national animal is the Lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Mijus is ranked 127,439^th in the world and 71^st in Karma for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,555.7 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
