The Federation of Great Middle States is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.634 billion Great Middle Statesians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.
The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Great Middle Statesian economy, worth 343 trillion marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 130,300 marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 529,380 per year while the poor average 21,320, a ratio of 24.8 to 1.
Failed genetic experiments wreak havoc as they roam the countryside, the nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and Great Middle Statesians are regularly fired for looking at MyFace during their lunch breaks. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Great Middle States's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Great Middle States is ranked 249,457th in the world and 8,201st in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 19.17857800348 days.
