The Grand Duchy of 46566 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lamont Cranston with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, soft-spoken computers, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.341 billion Midgaris are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The tiny, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Midgar. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Midgari economy, worth an astonishing 17,334 trillion Ducats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 571,309 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Renaissance frescos are being chiselled off public walls, the government blames all suspicious phenomena on flying saucers, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, and there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. 46566's national animal is the Spiteful Crow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is National Orthodoxy.

46566 is ranked 208,221^st in the world and 15^th in New Coalition of Nations for Least Corrupt Governments, with 1 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
