The Scholar's City of Mizrham is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lord Azaría Espinoza with a fair hand, and notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, pith helmet sales, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.053 billion Mizrhamites hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Inner Mizrham. The average income tax rate is 22.3%.

The all-consuming Mizrhamite economy, worth 113 trillion Silver Aurics a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 107,481 Silver Aurics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

There's more vermin than ever on the metro, dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, and Lord Azaría Espinoza has just been declared ruler of Mizrham in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Mizrham's national animal is the Genet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Mizrham is ranked 251,874^th in the world and 1,077^th in Europeia for Most Primitive, scoring -157.85 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
