The Combined Corporations of Win Mints is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Almighty Dollar with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ritual sacrifices, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 15.371 billion Minties live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Choco-Mintia. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Mintian economy, worth a remarkable 5,619 trillion cookies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 365,600 cookies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

If foreigners can hit a spittoon from five paces they get a free holiday to Win Mints, the internal market is thriving, Almighty Dollar can often be found attempting to coax random citizens' cats down from trees, and the children of Win Mints are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Win Mints's national animal is the sourdough starter, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Consumerism.

Win Mints is ranked 13,532nd in the world and 207th in the West Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 105 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
