The Democratic Republic of Mikation is a huge, safe nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate population of 973 million Mikationians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mikaterna. The average income tax rate is 41.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mikationian economy, worth 128 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 131,422 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

There's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Mikationians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mikation's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Mikation is ranked 121,026^th in the world and 5^th in United Brothers of Vietnamese Students for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,780.25 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
