The Republic of Midrand is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its burgeoning parrot population. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.63 billion Midrandians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 10.7%.

The Midrandian economy, worth 281 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 60,765 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low. Midrand's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Midrand is ranked 56,824^th in the world and 2,288^th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,493.52 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
