The Midaic Republic of Midand is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Midaic Chairman Axel Vodden with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, digital currency, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 14.492 billion Midandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Midandia. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Midandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,015 trillion Midoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 208,106 Midoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weekends are spent tilting at windmills, advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, Midaic Chairman Axel Vodden's reputation is hard as nails, and the news is showing footage of Midaic Chairman Axel Vodden bullying an old man to the point of tears. 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 5,606^th in the world and 74^th in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 11,679.72 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
