The Kingdom of Milostein is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Milo with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, anti-smoking policies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cheerful population of 25.483 billion Milosteinis enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government is primarily concerned with Education, although Administration, Welfare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Milosteini economy, worth an astonishing 10,250 trillion shnapsers a year, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 402,243 shnapsers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Milo is a silly poophead, many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and euthanasia is illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Milostein's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Milostein is ranked 292,249th in the world and 1st in Under a Rock for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -48.81 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
