The Combined Corporations of Win Mints is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Almighty Dollar with a fair hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, rampant corporate plagiarism, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 17.159 billion Minties live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, outspoken individuals juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Choco-Mintia. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Mintian economy, worth a remarkable 6,267 trillion cookies a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 365,236 cookies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The children of Win Mints are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, economic output is rising as the chronically depressed are persuaded not to burden society, people say that smog must be good for you because of its healthy green colour, and the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Win Mints's national animal is the sourdough starter, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Consumerism.

Win Mints is ranked 341,203^rd in the world and 3,743^rd in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.37 law-abiding acts per hour.
