The Federal Republic of Midlona is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Harris Lorden with a fair hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.993 billion Midlonans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Gailen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.8%.

The all-consuming Midlonan economy, worth 299 trillion Deoughs a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 100,192 Deoughs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 341,984 per year while the poor average 21,600, a ratio of 15.8 to 1.

Vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Midlonan mussels the biggest in Coalition of Federalist States, captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, and a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Midlona's national animal is the seal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Midlona is ranked 83,450th in the world and 1st in Coalition of Federalist States for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 68.44 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
