The United States of Midisudalis is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical population of 646 million Midisudalisians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Durran. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.0%.

The powerhouse Midisudalisian economy, worth 45.4 trillion hriebels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 70,274 hriebels, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 385,993 per year while the poor average 6,503, a ratio of 59.4 to 1.

Academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, the poorest Midisudalisians live in 'the stacks', and health inspectors are seen eating black truffle fondue with their bottled water. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Midisudalis's national animal is the seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Midisudalis is ranked 120,803rd in the world and 184th in Forest for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 84.06 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
