The Federal Republic of Minoriya is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.622 billion Minoriyans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 33.1%.

The Minoriyan economy, worth 227 trillion rounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,903 rounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Footballers are doing aerobics in the sauna to build their hot weather endurance, Leader's webseries about the alleged hauntings of Minoriya City generates millions of views, science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, and a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Minoriya's national animal is the penguin.

Minoriya is ranked 114,690^th in the world and 5,833^rd in Balder for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,066.03 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
