The Coping Mechanism of Mediocre Talents is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by App A Thetik with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.54 billion Mediocrites are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Languorous Daydream. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Mediocre Talentsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,434 trillion Toothpicks a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,933 Toothpicks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing, when people ask what the difference is between politicians and lawyers they are referred to document c15(iv) section 14.1 subsection 3.2 of the Jan 2015 political category definition guidance codes, toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense, and a traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mediocre Talents's national animal is the Talentless Goose, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Existential Crisis.

Mediocre Talents is ranked 6,241st in the world and 98th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 111.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
