The Federal Republic of Middlandia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Sun Yat-Sen with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 5.033 billion Middlandians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chongjing. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.4%.

The all-consuming Middlandian economy, worth 479 trillion Origins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 95,293 Origins, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

New cases of Asbestosis are cropping up as quickly as hospitals can deal with them, snap elections are called whenever there's a chance to increase Sun Yat-Sen's majority, schoolchildren are taught to boo and hiss at Sun Yat-Sen's name, and government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities. Crime is totally unknown. Middlandia's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheism.

Middlandia is ranked 64,157^th in the world and 3,451^st in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,033.53 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
