The Grass Block of Minecraft is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by President Mine C Raft with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.062 billion Minecraftians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stockholm. The average income tax rate is 61.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Minecraftian economy, worth 373 trillion Emeralds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 52,944 Emeralds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, robosexual marriages are increasingly common, and sometimes a single pallbearer is all you need. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minecraft's national animal is the Creeper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Order of the Stone.

Minecraft is ranked 30,955^th in the world and 1,540^th in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 19.85 average smiles per day.
