BACKGROUND
Miteravia has always been a strong proud nation; held under the yoke of a Nationalist government for too long, a popular uprising occurred leading to the first truly democratic elections held here for almost three centuries. Previously a merchant republic, Miteravia is currently in the process of attempting to re-establish trade links with the world. Its economy and military prowess are growing in the wake of the Civil War. Miteravia is famous for its highly liberal population and government with a stellar civil rights section of its constitution as well as strongly lassiez-faire policies towards drugs, gay rights and almost everything but the economy.

ECONOMY
The economic situation of Miteravia is quite dire due to recently ended civil war, however it is recovering quickly. Its main industrial format is State Operated Enterprises or SOEs which are for-profit corporations with the Government as Primary share holders, share trading is heavily regulated in SOEs. In Miteravia approximately 2.5% of the GDP is produced by Private Enterprise since it is discouraged by the State not recognising the difference between the company's finances and individual share holders. Foreign business are exempt from this. Black Market dealings and crime are almost nonexistent since the legalisation and decriminalisation of all narcotics, organised crime has difficulty funding itself; common black market goods are experimental medicines, firearms, raw materials and banned animal products.

PEOPLE
A hard working, industrious people are the Miteravians yet are world-renowned for being exceedingly friendly, liberal and tolerant. A variety of ethnic and religious minorities are present within the population, with a recent uptick in inwards migration from expatriated Miteravians claiming asylum all over Mundus and an increase in foreign immigration too. Miteravians are considered one single ethnicity with three sub-groups (German Miteravian, Polish Miteravian, Czech Miteravian) that all have slightly differing genetic haplogroups and slight variation in dialect from standard Miteravian German. The Polish Miteravians are primarily Catholic or another christian denomination, with small pockets of irreligiousness, the Czech Miteravians are almost entirely (85% estimated) religiously unafilliated with sizeable Christian populations within, the German Miteravians are a mixture of Protestant, Catholic and irreligious with smaller communities of Islam and other religions. Ethnic divides are not too deeply set or exacerbated by any governmental policies, although due to the slight instability after the civil war there are a few separatist movements although theses are small and few in number.
