The Republic of Midol is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.243 billion Midolians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Midolian economy, worth 160 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 128,977 rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 370,327 per year while the poor average 35,720, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Students do more community service than homework, double-parking is on the rise as automobile numbers increase, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, and few that venture into government archives are ever seen again. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Midol's national animal is the squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Midol is ranked 108,216^th in the world and 146^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 182.41 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
