The Uniate Albanians of Mireditia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Xhovalin Spaqi with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.267 billion Miredites are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prizren. The average income tax rate is 42.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Miredite economy, worth a remarkable 1,298 trillion leks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 178,665 leks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government-funded marriage counseling is showing very limited success, the official Miredite Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, and all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mireditia's national animal is the badger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Albanian Greek Catholic.

Mireditia is ranked 81,649th in the world and 12th in Pecan Sandies for Most Stationary, with 592.08744745268 days.
