The Principality of MiddleCone is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning giraffe population. The hard-working population of 1.654 billion MiddleConeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 14.7%.

The MiddleConean economy, worth 80.0 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 48,364 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. MiddleCone's national animal is the giraffe, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

MiddleCone is ranked 196,495^th in the world and 10,074^th in Lazarus for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
