The Ever distant memory of Midrasia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Consul Melcion Portas with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, strictly enforced bedtime, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 26.907 billion Midrasians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lotrič. The average income tax rate is 59.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Midrasian economy, worth a remarkable 4,926 trillion Ducats a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,104 Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Consul Melcion Portas's Twitcher account is once again only used for bragging about the government's accomplishments, the question of 'what is Consul Melcion Portas's favorite color?' has been given a priority rating of burnt-orange, according to the latest national census as many as two-thirds of the respondents possibly consider 'violet' their favorite color, and nuclear physics is the most popular course at university. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Midrasia's national animal is the Rooster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Alydianism.

Midrasia is ranked 16,690^th in the world and 3^rd in Aeia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 9,723.78 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
