The Imperial Commonwealth of Mesogiria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mother-President von Callay with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 16.303 billion Mesogirians 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, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Federal City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Mesogirian economy, worth a remarkable 4,364 trillion silver dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 267,718 silver dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 836,932 per year while the poor average 65,708, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

Search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, new urban roads are threatening city parks, Mother-President von Callay has incinerated the international climate treaty in a public coal-burning ceremony, and female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Mesogiria's national animal is the hedgehog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Not Being a Jerk to Your Fellow Man.

Mesogiria is ranked 309,085^th in the world and 142^nd in Equilism for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -63 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
