The Automated Systems' Union of Midterra is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Union's Popular Committee with an even hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 9.039 billion esperids are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magna Roma. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient esperidian economy, worth a remarkable 2,662 trillion e-Sprils a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 294,558 e-Sprils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, Union's Popular Committee's Twitcher account is once again only used for bragging about the government's accomplishments, and therapists can always squeeze in another house-call. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Midterra's national animal is the striped wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Midterra is ranked 393^rd in the world and 4^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 21,453.39 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
