The Dissolved Region of The Middle District is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Jeremias Hämäläinen with an iron fist, and notable for its vat-grown people, ubiquitous missile silos, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.881 billion Trocs 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ei Mihinkään. The average income tax rate is 80.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Trocians economy, worth 993 trillion Troccoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 144,417 Troccoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Many politicians are serving jail time for minor drug offenses, foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Middle District's national animal is the Deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

The Middle District is ranked 13,508th in the world and 1st in Trocian District for Most Developed, scoring 88.87 on the Human Development Index.
