The United States of Midlands is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its conspicuous electricity pylons, otherworldly petting zoo, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 48.311 billion Midlandsians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy are ignored. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Midlandsian economy, worth an astonishing 41,346 trillion sand dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 855,830 sand dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,646,452 per year while the poor average 50,242, a ratio of 112 to 1.
Personal injury lawyers are demanding compensation from the government after recent reductions in manufacturer liability, unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Midlands City make great practice for foreign snipers, the nation is known abroad mostly for its Parliamentary antics, and wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Midlands's national animal is the bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Midlands is ranked 34th in the world and 1st in NationStates for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 24,674.79 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
