The Most Serene Mediators of Medio is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Medio with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, ritual sacrifices, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.946 billion Medioans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minoa. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Medioan economy, worth a remarkable 3,225 trillion Mirrors 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. 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 190,342 Mirrors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Illegal hunting is rife after veganism was recently made compulsory, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", the might of the entire Medioan Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, and there's a hole in the heart of every Medioan city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Medio's national animal is the Silver Y Moth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Meditation.

Medio is ranked 313,790^th in the world and 2^nd in Medio for Most Secular, with 0.98 Atheism Rate.
