The Democratic Republic of Madhyalay is a very large, pleasant nation, renowned for its public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 173 million Madhyaas enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.9%.

The Madhyalayian economy, worth 6.91 trillion aanes a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,949 aanes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, residents of new housing subdivisions complain about the total absence of supermarkets and restaurants, the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, and shady doctors seem to have impeccable records. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Madhyalay's national animal is the elephant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Madhyalay is ranked 183,423^rd in the world and 473^rd in 10000 Islands for Most Secular, with 16.61 Atheism Rate.
