The Empire of Mianach is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Bennie with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 4.432 billion Mianachians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nach. The average income tax rate is 58.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mianachian economy, worth 317 trillion Mis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 71,727 Mis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, flowering peace lilies are the best defence against Mianach's military, and down payment blues in foreign nations are a thing of the past. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mianach's national animal is the brown bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mianach is ranked 130,753^rd in the world and 1,225^th in the Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 80.59 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
