The Most Serene Holy Mediators of Medio is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Medio with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.861 billion Medioans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Minoa. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Medioan economy, worth a remarkable 5,043 trillion Mirrors 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese 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 an amazing 241,767 Mirrors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Secret police deal with secret crimes, the ego of former emperors tend to match their stature, Medio's personal home is one of Medio's most notorious party destinations, and the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Medio's national animal is the Silver Y Moth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Meditation.

Medio is ranked 3,851^st in the world and 3^rd in Medio for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 68,250.49 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
