The Midaic Republic of Midand is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Midaic Chair Axel Vodden with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, humorless population of 6.182 billion Midandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Midandia. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Midandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,134 trillion Midoes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,552 Midoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lobbyists are trying to convince government to recategorize most natural disasters as "non-critical naturogenic inconveniences", Big Brother is still watching even when your big brother is dead, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, and you're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Midand's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Midand is ranked 132,204^th in the world and 4,875^th in the South Pacific for Most Pro-Market, scoring 36.89 on the Rand Index.
