“Long live the Midaic Order!”

Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Midaic Republic of Midand is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Midaic Chairman Axel Vodden with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, humorless population of 15.746 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 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 3,258 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 206,915 Midoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, beatboxing has replaced the 'Wilhelm scream' as the nation's most popular sound effect, and employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams. 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 46,762^nd in the world and 735^th in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,759.4 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
