The Democratic Republic of Micatis is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Elm Ash with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.08 billion Micatisians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luxus. The average income tax rate is 60.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Micatisian economy, worth 108 trillion Points 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 Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 100,187 Points, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, political detractors refer to Elm Ash as 'that Bigtopian puppet', thieves claim they're simply working for the tax agency, and people who eat pizza with lactase supplements are arrested by the flavour police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Micatis's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Micatis is ranked 28,577^th in the world and 4^th in The Pacifica for Most Developed, scoring 83.49 on the Human Development Index.
