The United States of Midlands is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, barren, inhospitable landscape, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 46.427 billion Midlandsians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Defense, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Midlandsian economy, worth an astonishing 38,860 trillion sand dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 837,018 sand dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,845,148 per year while the poor average 41,365, a ratio of 141 to 1.
Leader can't hear a thing when the unwashed masses throw rocks at the new state limousine, the government is spending millions on lawyers' fees trying to get Leader off a murder charge, freighter lifeboats have been replaced by state of the art marker buoys so divers can recover the cargo after they sink, and the purgative quality of Midlandsian cuisine is known across the globe. Crime is totally unknown. Midlands's national animal is the bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Midlands is ranked 4,831st in the world and 38th in NationStates for Most Cultured, scoring 170 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
