The Socialist People's Union of Midterra is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Matteo Tolensese with an even hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, ban on automobiles, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.906 billion Esperidəns 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 Rome. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient midterran economy, worth a remarkable 1,784 trillion Esprils 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 258,421 Esprils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A degree in Matteo Tolensese Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Midterra, diplomatic cables about Matteo Tolensese have suddenly been very flattering, and left-wing militias train children how to properly burn down banks. 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 77,414^th in the world and 99^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Populations, with 6.91 billion capita.
