The Allied States of Middle Averigme is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 350 million Middle Averigmeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Averigme. The average income tax rate is 23.7%.

The thriving Middle Averigmean economy, worth 29.0 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 82,738 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, and boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Middle Averigme's national animal is the Great Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Middle Averigme is ranked 52,056th in the world and 888th in the West Pacific for Safest, scoring 102.34 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
