The Disputed Territories of Le Front de Liberation du Midand is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Kylie McLastname with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.944 billion Le Front de Liberation du Midandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Administration and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Midandia. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The Le Front de Liberation du Midandian economy, worth 703 trillion Midoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 78,618 Midoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
A nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, and social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Le Front de Liberation du Midand's national animal is the Combat Kitten, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Le Front de Liberation du Midand is ranked 68,779th in the world and 1,378th in the South Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,765.14 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
