The Rum Swigger of Honor Guard Mediobogdum is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Medio with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, smutty television, and pith helmet sales.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare.
