The Republic of Mediu is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its smutty television, daily referendums, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.055 billion Mediuans enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Administration, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 32.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Mediuan economy, worth a remarkable 2,527 trillion currencies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 313,754 currencies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The law is more interested in punishing crime than preventing it, grocery store cereal aisles resemble a Piet Mondrian work, it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, and many mayors are barely in office before being kicked out for minor parking violations. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Mediu's national animal is the animal, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Mediu is ranked 6,269^th in the world and 42^nd in Vickenian experiment incubator for Largest Governments, scoring 40.53 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
