The Republic of Mingde is a huge, genial nation, ruled by CaryOtokonokOwO with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 888 million 人民 enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 桃園市. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming 人民 economy, worth 81.7 trillion 新台幣s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Retail. Average income is 92,039 新台幣s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, people make a career out of medical voyeurism, politicians who misplace decimal points on expense reports are fired for gross incompetence, and every school is receiving a brand new eraser. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mingde's national animal is the Nekomimi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mingde is ranked 314,348^th in the world and 308^th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Patriotic, with 0.37 flags saluted per person per day.
