The Whole Love of Message From Mid-Bar is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.6 billion Message From Mid-Barians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Message From Mid-Barian economy, worth 862 trillion wilcoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 130,641 wilcoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
The government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, and property owners are terrified of pigeons nesting in their buildings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Message From Mid-Bar's national animal is the whole love, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Message From Mid-Bar is ranked 207,731st in the world and 270th in Stereo Hearts for Most Stationary, with 38.93756535772 days.
