The Kingdom of Media is a mammoth, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.239 billion Medians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. The average income tax rate is 19.3%.

The large but inefficient Median economy, worth 175 trillion darics a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 28,203 darics, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Media's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Media is ranked 158,208^th in the world and 1^st in Media for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 71.06 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
