“God, Motherland, The People”

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

The Most Serene Republic of Midgarland is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 497 million Midgarlandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Midgar. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Midgarlandian economy, worth 40.3 trillion Krønemarks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 81,139 Krønemarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Midgarlandian Navy, polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Midgarland's national animal is the Golden eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Midgarland is ranked 172,651^st in the world and 5,879^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 24,504.13 Standard Monetary Units.
