The Directorial Republic of Midribbonia is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Director Kratov with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.908 billion Midribbonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hermanburg. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Midribbonian economy, worth 494 trillion crosets a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,630 crosets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, the ruling party has a devil of a time keeping order in the ranks, and the government's new priority is citizens' access to cat videos. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Midribbonia's national animal is the Goliarse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is none.

Midribbonia is ranked 23,366^th in the world and 30^th in The Hole To Hide In for Safest, scoring 112.17 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
