The State of Mindersley is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 37.009 billion Mindersleyians 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 tiny government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The very strong Mindersleyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,408 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 38,059 betales, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Army rations are served on silver platters, gambling is outlawed, graffiti graces every city's streets, and Mindersley has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem. Mindersley's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mindersley is ranked 287,883^rd in the world and 385^th in State for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 8.03 Effective Tax Rate.
