The Dominion of Middle Islany is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 123 million Middle Islanyians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 36.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Middle Islanyian economy, worth 5.15 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,876 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Whole-wheat loaves can only be ordered on the dark web, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and citizens can be frequently spotted going about their business stark naked. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Middle Islany's national animal is the squirrel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Middle Islany is ranked 62,900^th in the world and 1,561^st in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 15.9 average smiles per day.
