The Union of Minconro is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Minc with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 5.485 billion Minconroans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minconray. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Minconroan economy, worth 720 trillion Centralized Northern Units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 131,309 Centralized Northern Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished, children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, and workers for the environmental protection agency are patted down for tartar sauce every morning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minconro's national animal is the Falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Meronism.

Minconro is ranked 216,486th in the world and 7,886th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.02 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
