The Republic of Mia Townsend is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Mia with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 4.097 billion Mias have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rockport. The average income tax rate is 27.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Mia economy, worth 187 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,766 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Last minute own-goals raise the suspicious eyebrows of sporting authorities, uploading purple prose to social media earns a place on a government watchlist, glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town, and unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mia Townsend's national animal is the RX-8, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Speed.

Mia Townsend is ranked 160,495^th in the world and 10^th in Rockport for Most Developed, scoring 54.83 on the Human Development Index.
