The Devotion of Midnight Prayer is a massive, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 2.691 billion Midnight Prayerians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Social Policy are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 40.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Midnight Prayerian economy, worth 120 trillion golds a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,616 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, the Midnight Prayer City Pride Parade's head banner explains how unionizing is heteronormative, more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, and the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Midnight Prayer's national animal is the dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Midnight Prayer is ranked 143,366th in the world and 2,345th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 2,501.25 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
