The Grand Duchy of 46566 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lamont Cranston with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 40.174 billion Midgaris are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Midgar. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Midgari economy, worth an astonishing 22,297 trillion Ducats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 555,013 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Spiteful Crow stadiums are open 24/7, 46566 isn't what it used to be, self-driving cars are unpopular due to suspicion that they murder their passengers, and school children are expected to know the names of all seven hundred native tribes and their cultural practices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. 46566's national animal is the Spiteful Crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is National Orthodoxy.

46566 is ranked 21,375^th in the world and 13^th in Mitteleuropa for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,209.12 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
