The Blumierite Spider Empire of Maid Mimi is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Spider Empress Mimi Mimikins with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.547 billion Maid Mimians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.6%.

The powerhouse Maid Mimian economy, worth 131 trillion rubies a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 84,809 rubies, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 723,923 per year while the poor average 1,740, a ratio of 415 to 1.

The wreckages of bombed planes that litter Maid Mimi are highly popular tourist destinations, meteorologists are instantly recognizable from their luxury cars and jewelry, ship captains always order a return to port at the slightest sign of rain, and monocled merchants with funny accents are applying for Maid Mimian citizenship in droves. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maid Mimi's national animal is the spider, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Maid Mimi is ranked 309,370th in the world and 17th in Castle Bleck for Highest Poor Incomes, with 1,740.49 Standard Monetary Units.
