The Most Serene Holy Mediators of Medio is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Medio with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory vegetarianism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.899 billion Medioans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minoa. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Medioan economy, worth a remarkable 5,052 trillion Mirrors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 241,767 Mirrors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Secret police deal with secret crimes, the ego of former emperors tend to match their stature, Medio's personal home is one of Medio's most notorious party destinations, and the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Medio's national animal is the Silver Y Moth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Meditation.

Medio is ranked 313,304^th in the world and 2^nd in Medio for Safest, scoring 8.63 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
