The Grumpy Old Pumpkin of Mediobogdum is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by His Immaculate Munchiness with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.877 billion Mediobogdumians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gariannonum. The average income tax rate is 71.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mediobogdumian economy, worth a remarkable 7,072 trillion Pizza Slices a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 284,288 Pizza Slices, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, people say chess victor His Immaculate Munchiness can kill you with mind-bullets, the nation's once beautiful countryside has turned brown as farmers spray potent pesticides, and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. Crime is pervasive. Mediobogdum's national animal is the Gyr Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Mediobogdum is ranked 211,951st in the world and 2,775th in the West Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 36.11 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
