The Hispanic Republic of Miami Jai-Alai is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.847 billion Miami Jai-Alaians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Spirituality and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.7%.

The thriving Miami Jai-Alaian economy, worth a remarkable 1,467 trillion Pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Average income is 54,659 Pesos, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 300,221 per year while the poor average 5,058, a ratio of 59.4 to 1.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the police force is on a recruitment drive, and traveller camps regularly block five-lane superhighways. Crime is a problem. Miami Jai-Alai's national animal is the Jai-Alai Players, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Miami Jai-Alai is ranked 142,920th in the world and 5,955th in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,860.58 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
