The Federated State of Minnonigan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Scarlett Peckynski with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.94 billion Minnonigonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thomasford. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Minnoniganian economy, worth a remarkable 1,624 trillion Minnonigonian Dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,468 Minnonigonian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, there's a literal nanny state for the legions of children taken by social services, and the government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minnonigan's national animal is the South Archantan Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Minnonigan is ranked 13,197^th in the world and 4^th in The Revolutionary Communist Alliance for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.35 law-abiding acts per hour.
