The Imperial Commonwealth of Mesogiria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mother-President von Callay with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, otherworldly petting zoo, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 18.557 billion Mesogirians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Federal City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Mesogirian economy, worth a remarkable 5,305 trillion silver dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 285,881 silver dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,168,563 per year while the poor average 46,303, a ratio of 25.2 to 1.

Traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, one does not simply walk into the tundra, and soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mesogiria's national animal is the hedgehog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Not Being a Jerk to Your Fellow Man.

Mesogiria is ranked 3,493rd in the world and 6th in Equilism for Lowest Crime Rates, with 125.85 law-abiding acts per hour.
