The Empire of Mippon is a mid-sized, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 50 million Mipponianoes are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, with Defense, Industry, and Education also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.2%.

The thriving Mipponian economy, worth 3.20 trillion Iemes a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 63,961 Iemes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 180,550 per year while the poor average 18,138, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, those who cut young children are told to cut it out, an online tea-bagging epidemic is getting worse and (meta)worse, and APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mippon's national animal is the Dragão, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mippon is ranked 207,254^th in the world and 6^th in Sentry for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.28 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
