The Media of Mainstream is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 909 million Trendsetters enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.2%.

The strong Trendsetter economy, worth 52.8 trillion Trends a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 58,100 Trends, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mainstream's national animal is the Animated Paper Plane.

Mainstream is ranked 180,790^th in the world and 255^th in Forest for Highest Poor Incomes, with 21,775.59 Standard Monetary Units.
