The Dissolved Region of The Southern Middle is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Sauli Tähtinen with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.864 billion Trocs 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vehnämaa. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Trocians economy, worth a remarkable 1,178 trillion Troccoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,715 Troccoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Sauli Tähtinen isn't a national brand, citizens with artificial limbs are forbidden to serve as beauty pageant judges, even God cannot save you in The Southern Middle, and the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Southern Middle's national animal is the Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

The Southern Middle is ranked 157,548^th in the world and 3^rd in Trocian District for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 368.73 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
