The Republic of 17 Mirrormind is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 9.101 billion 17 Mirrormindians 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 51.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The 17 Mirrormindian economy, worth 493 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 54,239 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's personal home is one of the Rejected Realms's most notorious party destinations, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, critical thinking is grounds for expulsion from university, and military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 17 Mirrormind's national animal is the kangaroo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

17 Mirrormind is ranked 41,518th in the world and 576th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 1,074.4195207044 days.
