The Imperial City of Mediternia is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Felix Alexander with an even hand, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, fear of technology, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 8.817 billion Mediternians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Spirituality, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Noikish. The average income tax rate is 61.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Mediternian economy, worth 536 trillion lamins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,803 lamins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jennifer Government is a bestseller, the nation's biggest export is stupidity, knitting needles have been banned in the name of public safety, and politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days. Crime is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Mediternia's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Empirism.

Mediternia is ranked 265,811^th in the world and 990^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
