The Woodhouse Sanctum of Min-1 is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, soft-spoken computers, and frequent executions. The quiet, industrious population of 28.14 billion Min-1ians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 44.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Min-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,324 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 47,085 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, it is popularly believed that "cheese every day keeps disaster away", misbehaving Dolly Vardens deemed dangerous to the public are shot and hanged by the town hall as a warning to others, and fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Min-1's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Min-1 is ranked 187,813^th in the world and 1^st in Mindanao for Highest Average Incomes, with 47,085.87 Standard Monetary Units.
