The Fearless Marauders of Fiery Midnight is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Commander Beast with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.995 billion Warrior of Midnights are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Hidden Halls of Bob. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.9%.

The strong Midnightese economy, worth 953 trillion donuts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 79,484 donuts, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 326,729 per year while the poor average 12,753, a ratio of 25.6 to 1.

Conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue, dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia, the military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Fiery Midnight's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.

Fiery Midnight is ranked 159,746th in the world and 20th in Unicorn for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -1 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
