The Grand Duchy of Minde is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Saguadnim with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The compassionate, cheerful population of 21.428 billion Mindeans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minde City. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Mindean economy, worth a remarkable 3,953 trillion Daugas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 184,496 Daugas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Corrupt officials have adopted the greater good as their catchphrase, the government guarantees extra-soft tissues to fire-snorting elephants, making up random numbers to name new asteroids is the bulk of astronomers' work, and janitors and interns go on luxury retreats while the desks are cleared by the C-Suite. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minde's national animal is the Stork, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Storkism.

Minde is ranked 297,358^th in the world and 29^th in The Amaranthine Isles for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -11.96 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
