Midway Special Region

Midway Special Region (Traditional Chinese: 中途特別地區) is a special region encompassing a large swath of south-central parts of the Imaginary Lands of Nicholas. Sparsely settled, Midway Special Region is a rapidly developing subdivision of the kingdom owing to its wealth in natural resources. Its capital is the planned city Woods Bay, and its largest city is Lakedale.

Etymology
The special region had its name derived from the nearby Midway Atoll not far offshore from the region. Midway is also roughly equidistant from Asia and North America, as well as longitudinally halfway from Greenwich, U.K..

Midway Special Region was formerly named "Midways". The "s" was formally dropped in 1993 as the Third Kingdom was established.

Government
