The Queen's State of Mid Pacific Ridge is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 19.222 billion Mid Pacific Ridgeans 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, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Welfare is also considered important, while Law & Order and Spirituality are ignored. Income tax is unheard of.

The very strong Mid Pacific Ridgean economy, worth 893 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,507 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 316,192 per year while the poor average 2,498, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The government is reining in public spending, voting is voluntary, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Mid Pacific Ridge's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Mid Pacific Ridge is ranked 274,001^st in the world and 668^th in 0000 for Safest, scoring 7.91 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
