The Democratic States of Mistillania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The President with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 13.078 billion Mistillanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Mistillania City. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Mistillanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,110 trillion Mistis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 237,867 Mistis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People who have never eaten chicken are told it tastes a bit like crocodile, the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Mistillanian Navy, parking's carefree without parking car fees, and the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network. Crime is totally unknown. Mistillania's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnostic-Pantheism.

Mistillania is ranked 348^th in the world and 3^rd in Spiritus for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 11,240.12 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
