The Grumpy Old Pumpkin of Mediobogdum is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by His Immaculate Munchiness with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, smutty television, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.842 billion Mediobogdumians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gariannonum. The average income tax rate is 71.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Mediobogdumian economy, worth a remarkable 7,075 trillion Pizza Slices a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 284,824 Pizza Slices, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Home renovation projects take decades to complete, bread-gangs raid restaurant waste bins to stockpile uneaten rolls, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, and prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators. Crime is pervasive. Mediobogdum's national animal is the Gyr Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Mediobogdum is ranked 1,356th in the world and 8th in the West Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 75,013 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
