The Rational Republic of Mirchusko is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Temis Aenea with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.797 billion Mirchuskoites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sapphrian City. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Mirchuskoan economy, worth a remarkable 3,799 trillion eigencredits a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 226,211 eigencredits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Economists speak of trusting in the Tao of Free Market Capitalism, political talk shows often have children as guests whenever they need commentary on world religions, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, and the nation's interest in space is at an all-time high while interest in saving the planet is at an all-time low. Crime is totally unknown. Mirchusko's national animal is the heptapus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mirchusko is ranked 3,877^th in the world and 93^rd in the West Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 146,806.43 Standard Monetary Units.
