The United Empire of Miltil is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Andrew Nyrzyr XII with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, strictly enforced bedtime, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.573 billion Miltilians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Miltil City. The average income tax rate is 6.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Miltilan economy, worth a remarkable 1,304 trillion Imperial Credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 233,988 Imperial Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Landless farmers wander forlornly in the government's many national parks, the government merely pays lip service to Divine law of knowledge, blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, and new government leaflets tell coeliac children to eat more crisps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Miltil's national animal is the Imperial-Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Divine law of knowledge.

Miltil is ranked 4,154^th in the world and 198^th in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 607.36 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
