The Republic of Middle Witeopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, rampant corporate plagiarism, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 16.45 billion Middle Witeopians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Middle Witeopia City. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Middle Witeopian economy, worth a remarkable 3,227 trillion baht a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 196,198 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Renewable energy projects have ground to a halt, citizens may now wear shoes while watching television as long as the television is outside and the shoes are rental, the government runs a surplus by selling its citizens, and getting a blood transfusion from a Middle Witeopian entitles a foreigner to citizenship. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Middle Witeopia's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Middle Witeopia is ranked 290,691st in the world and 86th in St Abbaddon for Lowest Crime Rates, with 27.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
