The Magical Mediator of Mediobogdum II is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Antoninus with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.987 billion Mediobogdumians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Herculaneum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Mediobogdum IIian economy, worth a remarkable 3,959 trillion Aes signatums a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 172,256 Aes signatums, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

It's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing, every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mediobogdum II's national animal is the Lynx Vampire, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sun Worship.

Mediobogdum II is ranked 34,993rd in the world and 2,225th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
