The Borderlands of FinalFantasy Midgar is a large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 50 million Midgarians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The thriving Midgarian economy, worth 4.05 trillion Gils a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is 80,975 Gils, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 386,256 per year while the poor average 9,970, a ratio of 38.7 to 1.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, only criminals carry guns, late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, and belief that Leader is a lizard-person from outer space has reached an all-time high. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. FinalFantasy Midgar's national animal is the Chocobo, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

FinalFantasy Midgar is ranked 13,557^th in the world and 13^th in The Free Nations Region for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 386,256 Standard Monetary Units.
