The Federation of Medzhuslavia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 252 million Medzhuslavians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Medzhuslavian economy, worth 6.18 trillion paras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 24,543 paras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

More money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, and the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Medzhuslavia's national animal is the white two headed eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Medzhuslavia is ranked 114,120^th in the world and 53^rd in Arctica for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,103.49 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
