The Dominion of Midia Golowemon is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Lum the Mad with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.009 billion Midia Golowemonians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.
The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shallots. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Midia Golowemonian economy, worth 356 trillion Pearls 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 118,460 Pearls, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, all beauty contests have been banned, taxpayers receive expenditure reports from the Grand High Poobah of the Order of Violet, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Midia Golowemon's national animal is the Turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Discordia.
Midia Golowemon is ranked 11,595th in the world and 595th in Osiris for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 11,982.88 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
