The Grand Duchy of Midnodir is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its smutty television, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 6.725 billion Midnodirians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.2%.

The powerhouse Midnodirian economy, worth 549 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,730 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 282,815 per year while the poor average 17,258, a ratio of 16.4 to 1.

Military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods, tensions between the young and old have risen to record levels, reddish-brown is the new black, and meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Midnodir's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Midnodir is ranked 75,308th in the world and 308th in Jihad Army of the Emperor for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,274.76 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
