The Republic of Minskiev-1 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by King Waldolphrus II with an iron fist, and remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, parental licensing program, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.501 billion Minskievians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyiv. The average income tax rate is 56.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Minskiev-1ian economy, worth 583 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,034 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Calling King Waldolphrus II a tyrant is seen as the ultimate compliment, the tightness of border controls in Minskiev-1 leave a little to be desired, King Waldolphrus II has returned as a hero from a brutal campaign to conquer the local beach, and the thought of funding space programs drives King Waldolphrus II crazy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Minskiev-1's national animal is the walrus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Defenderism.

Minskiev-1 is ranked 35,821^st in the world and 2^nd in Constitutional Democratic States for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
