The Free Land of Midnight Oil is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 24.605 billion Midnight Oilians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Midnight Oilian economy, worth 282 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 11,464 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Midnight Oil's national animal is the kangaroo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Midnight Oil is ranked 188,314^th in the world and 2^nd in Erebos for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 198.09 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
