The Midaic Republic of Midand is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Midaic Chairman Axel Vodden with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The compassionate, humorless population of 19.711 billion Midandians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Midandia. The average income tax rate is 98.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Midandian economy, worth a remarkable 4,180 trillion Midoes a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 212,102 Midoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, and foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets. 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 4,909^th in the world and 70^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 12,198.97 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
