The Grand Duchy of Mitavens is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, compulsory gun ownership, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 12.319 billion Mitavensians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 75.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Mitavensian economy, worth a remarkable 1,521 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 123,509 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's skies are now a wasteland, museums offer moralization or your money back, it is now illegal for teens to view any sites except Club Kitten and My Little Donkey, and the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mitavens's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mitavens is ranked 123,263^rd in the world and 1,485^th in eta for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,620.93 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
