The Federal Republic of Midlona is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 1.013 billion Midlonans 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 medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Healthcare, although Administration, Welfare, and Defense are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Gailen. The average income tax rate is 26.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Midlonan economy, worth 71.9 trillion Deoughs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 70,936 Deoughs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elderly prisoners with severe dementia are reminded hourly that they are evil people by helpful nurse-wardens, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, and babies are increasingly seen as a luxury. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Midlona's national animal is the Seal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Midlona is ranked 51,736^th in the world and 2,214^th in Osiris for Most Devout, with 1,091.52 prayers per hour.
